Testing the intraplate origin of mega-earthquakes at subduction margins by Prosanta K. Khan, Partha Pratim Chakraborty, G. Tarafder, S. Mohanty

“…The disastrous Mw 9.3 (seismic moment 1.0×1030 dyn/cm) earthquake that struck northwest Sumatra on 26 December 2004 and triggered ∼30 m high tsunami has rejuvenated the quest for identifying the forcing behind subduction related earthquakes around the world. Studies reveal that the strongest part (elastic core) of the oceanic lithosphere lie between 20 and 60 km depth beneath the upper (∼7 km thick) crustal layer, and compressive stress of GPa order is required to fail the rock-layers within the core zone. …”
