Quake expected to hit South East Asia…

Hey all,
    There have been reports about a major earthquake which may strike South East Asia soon. This report was published in the CNN IBN blog today…

    There have been increased seismic
activities in the Java-Sumatra-Andaman region of South East Asia in the
past one month, and scientists at the Indian Insititute of Technology
(IIT), Mumbai, have warned of possibility of a major disaster in
Southeast Asia in the near future.

    PTI quoted D Chandrasekharam, a senior
professor in IIT-Mumbai’s Department of Earth Sciences, as saying that
more than 52 earthquakes of varying magnitude were recorded in the
region in the past one month.

    “Since December 25, 2006 till January 24
morning, the entire Java-Sumatra-Andaman Island subduction zone
experienced more than 51 earthquakes varying in magnitude from 4.2 to
7.5 on the Richter scale,” the earth science expert said. “This appears
to be a natural cyclic process but there is a possibility of it
triggering a major disaster,” he warned.

    He, however, revealed that volcanic
activities in the region had subsided after the devastating
earthquake-triggered tsunami of December 2004.

    The major earthquakes in the past one
month include two major earthquakes of 7.1 magnitude each in Taiwan on
December 26 and 7.5 in Molucca sea and two earthquakes of 4.9 and
6.1magnitude in Nicobar Islands.

    Chandrasekharam claims the majority of
these events are associated with ‘thrust fault’, an underground
phenomenon that had caused the 2004 tsunami killing nearly 2.5 lakh
people across several countries, including India.

    Lets keep our fingers crossed, and hope, and pray, that a major disaster can be averted.

    The tsunami of 2005 devastated half of Asia! Lets pray that such a calamity does not occur again! Join me, my dear friends, and let our prayers reach heaven!

Mahesh Nambiar, head of Landmark Education’s South India operations (encompassing Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Shimoga), was recently presented with the Rashtriya Ekta Award.
