Earth science: Megathrust investigations

Charles J. Ammon1

We know the basic events of 26 December 2004: a giant earthquake beneath the Indian Ocean generated a devastating tsunami. But geoscientists are still learning about processes initiated during the earthquake.

Wherever tectonic plates meet, potential trouble exists for those who live nearby. The largest earthquakes threaten people who inhabit regions where one plate plunges beneath another.
