| Summary: | This study carries the effects of the great
Sumatra-Andaman earthquake on the
neighboring countries. on Sunday, 26 December
2004 at 00:58:53. UTC the Earthquake struck
the Sumatra-Andaman island, which disrupted
the Sunda Trench Subduction zone, the
undersea mega-thrust earthquake was caused
due to the subduction of Indo-Australian plate
below the Eurasian plate. The epicenter of this
earthquake was located 160 Km of the Western
coast of North Sumatra Indonesia with a depth
of 30 Km prompted a devastating tsunami. After
the global monitoring in the 1980s, it was the
third major devastating earthquake with the
seismic moment of Mo = 1:00 X 1023 to 1:15 X
1023 Nm and the corresponding magnitude of
9.0-9.3 on Richter scale and had the longest
interval of time of faulting ever detected
between 8.3 to 10 minutes. The propagation of
rupture was found from South to North and the
southerly part of the fault ruptured at a speed of
1.739 miles/s. The objective of this review paper
is to study the consequences of the 2004 great
Sumatra-Andaman earthquake on Sumatra
Island and its surrounding countries using an
accounting framework for damage and loss
assessment that is ECLAC DaLA methodology. |
