M7.8 strike-slip west of Sumatra
#1
There was just a M7.8 strike-slip earthquake far west of the Sumatra subduction zone. This may be in a similar area to the M8.6 and M8.2 strike-slip quakes of a few years ago. From memory (I'm not checking), there may be some poorly understood motion between the Australian and Indian plates in this region.

First post on this Earth Science part of Earthwaves in over a month.
