How do you guys feel about the earthquake disaster in Sumatra?
Answer: As sad as it is with any natural disaster, we still got our own problems to deal with back at the Homeland. The United States cannot be there for everyone, even though we are labeled the "the benevolent country" of the world.
I am quite sure very few people and countries could care less about the destruction of Hurrican Katrina. While it hard at home, sometimes there's not a whole lot you can do except to offer a prayer.

What is the tectonic reason that the Sumatra earthquake happened?
A. Near Transform Boundary
B. Near Subduction zone
C. Near mid ocean ridge
Answer: it would be A because The magnitude 8.4 and 7.8 southern Sumatra earthquakes of September 12, 2007 occurred as the result of thrust faulting on the boundary between the Australia and Sunda plates. At the location of these earthquakes, the Australia plate moves northeast with respect to the Sunda plate at a velocity of about 60 mm/year. The direction of relative plate motion is oblique to the orientation of the plate boundary offshore of the west coast of Sumatra. The component of plate-motion perpendicular to the boundary is accommodated by thrust faulting on the offshore plate-boundary. Much of the component of plate motion parallel to the plate boundary is accommodated by strike-skip faulting on the Sumatra fault, which is inland on Sumatra proper.

How severe was the human impact on the earthquake in Southern Sumatra, Indonesia on September 12, 2007?
Answer: Despite the large magnitude of the earthquake, it was very benign. The accepted death toll is around 25 people, total. The injured list usually hovers around 120. Very few large structures were destroyed, though many did suffer damage to varying degrees. The second link below shows damage and destruction to buildings in the tens of thousands, but (and this is in no way meant to be racist, or culturalist, or any other -ist) you have to consider what are thought of as buildings in Southern Sumatra, and how those buildings are constructed. If you live in a mud hut, it still sucks if your mud hut collapses, but if you're using destruction as a measure of earthquake effect, be sure to compare it to a more civilized/advanced area of the world (again, apologies to people from Southern Sumatra).

What type of plate is the plate of the Sumatra Earthquake?
Subduction?
Conservative? WHICH ONE
Destructive?
Answer: It was the result of a rupture along the boundary of the Indian-Australian plate where it subducts beneath the southeast Asia area or the Eurasian plate. Though the latter is not totally confirmed as there is evidence that that area is a separate plate from the Eurasian plate (they have just not found the boundary between that plate and the Eurasian plate). It may be what is left from a plate that is being 'devoured' by other plates. it is also thought to be why many volcanoes in the area are so violent in their eruptions, such as Toba and Krakatoa

Were most of deaths in the 2004 Sumatra earthquake due to the Tsunami?
I am fairly certain there were not many deaths due to the aftershocks itself.
Answer: It was not because of Tsunami.It was purely by the ignorance of meteorological department and non awareness of people. When it was possible for me to alert 2 hours before Tsunami struck our coast why the meteorological department failed to take quick action to save the people. Yes I sensed the wave for an unusual time of 12 minute 2 hours before Tsunami struck our coast with the help of my simple earthquake alarm made by me for the cost of U.S 25 $. Several symptoms helped me to understand the situation and alerted my local T.V.Station.They have not believed my warning even after I explained about my knowledge on seismology. At last the Asian country lost the life of 2,60,000 people.

Is it true the 2004 earthquake/tsunami in Sumatra knocked Earth out of orbit?
The effects?
I heard that it changed tie by a few milleseconds and it moved us slightly out of orbit, which can cause great effects!
Answer: The USGS and NASA have produced estimates that the rotation of the Earth may have been changed, making the days 2.676 microseconds shorter than they were before. And that the axis of rotation was also changed, by about 0.82 milliarcseconds, or about 0.8 centimeters.
Both of those are too small to be directly measured, and are based on theoretical models done. The Earth may also be slightly more "squashed," again by an amount too small to directly measure.
In other words, there is nothing to worry about. Barring some other catastrophe, the Earth is good for at least another couple of billion years, by which time neither of us will be around to witness the end.

It was about 6.30 am when the telephone bell rang. It was a call from Mr. R. Murugaiyan,( Ph- +914426162636 ) retired executive engineer from Tamilnadu electricity board. He asked me, if my earthquake instrument sensed any warning. I said that “No, however; I will adjust the sensitivity and see”. He said that he could see cups & saucers moving on the table. Around the same time, my daughter-in-law came from the second floor and said that she felt her cot shake. I was adjusting the sensitivity of my instrument fixed in my hall. Again another phone call from Mr. Gopal (Ph +919884062661) a former project engineer of M/s Enfield, India; from Annanagar. He said he was able to see water in the bubble top water filter shaking peculiarly. Most of my friends used to call me to get the clarifications on earthquakes. I replied “I am adjusting the sensitivity of my instrument, I will contact you later”.
My instrument then started sensing the waves and it raised an alarm sound. But there was no ground motion felt by us. As, there was no ground shaking I have disconnected the sounding device and I was observing the flickering of the light in the quake alarm. Since, the frequency of the earthquake (0.5 to 15 Hz) is lower than the capacity of our vision I was able to see the flickering of the bulb. Although, I have 4 early warning instruments in my house (two imported from U.S.A. and the other two were designed by me), only my latest simplified design was adjusted to sense the earthquake on that day.
The warning signal stopped at about 6.42 A.M I.S.T. So the total warning time was 12 minutes. I never heard in the history of earthquake that the signal lasted for 12 minutes. Generally, earthquake produces shakings for a few seconds to one or two minutes only. The earthquake shakings sensed by my quake alarm for 12 minutes is very high. I was upset for a few minutes. I just thought of the concept of Richter scale. If the amplitude of shaking is low and the time of sensing was for very long time it is also equal in magnitude if the amplitude is high and the shaking is for shorter time. Therefore, I came to a conclusion that the magnitude of the earthquake sensed by my instrument is very high and should be from far away distance. As my eye was operated, I was unable to move out of my house.
Mr Chandrasekar from Ambattur ( +919884032977 )called me over phone and asked about its effect. I explained him that the sea water may rise to a great height. I brought the Xerox copies of earthquake behaviours from USA library. In the book named “why earthquakes” written by Mr Bruce Bolt, it was clearly mentioned what should be and should not be done before, during and after earthquake. It reads like this “Stay away from beaches and waterfront areas where Tsunami could strike even long after the shaking has stopped”. That day was also full moon day. The seismic activities will be more on that day. Therefore I informed the door darshan and to Sun T.V. to broadcast the alert message at 6.45 a.m. itself. One Mr. Chellappa attended the call at Door darshan T V station. He has asked me to bring the instrument to prove my claim. I explained to him my inability to move from the house. He ignored my warning.
In Sun T.V. my call was redirected to Sun news section. I explained about my past history and I told them that I have appeared in Sun T.V. for four times and I have appeared on T.V. of other countries like Singapore and London to explain about my instrument of warning systems. But they also ignored my warning. At last the disaster took place at around 8.45 a.m. If the use of my quake alarm was properly tested and certified by the nodal agency my warning would have received its due merit.
People were unaware of the changes that took place before the earthquake that is barking of police dogs as reported by the Chennai police department; the water receded in the sea shore before the Tsunami attack at Kanniyakumari. Water in small tanks and ponds near Nagappattanam spilled out and the water became muddy. The fisher men in Malaysia got heavy catch of fishes 2 days before Tsunami attack.

What are the nature and effects of the Sumatra Earthquake?
it is a geography assessment and I suck at geography so any helpful answers are welcome
Answer: A minute before 8 o'clock in the morning Sumatra local time, the huge earthquake began to shake the northern part of Sumatra and the Andaman Sea to the north. Seven minutes later a stretch of the Indonesian subduction zone 1200 kilometers long had slipped by an average distance of 15 meters. The moment magnitude of the event was eventually estimated as 9.3, making it the second-largest earthquake since seismographs were invented around 1900. The Indonesian subduction zone is where the India Plate (oceanic plate), is being subducted beneath the Burma micro-plate, part of the larger Sunda plate.
The shaking was felt throughout southeastern Asia and caused devastation in northern Sumatra and in the Nicobar and Andaman Islands. The local intensity reached IX on the 12-point Mercalli scale in the Sumatran capital of Banda Aceh, a level that causes universal damage and widespread collapse of structures. Though the intensity of shaking did not reach the maximum on the scale, the motion lasted for several minutes—the duration of shaking is the main difference between magnitude 8 and 9 events.
A large tsunami triggered by the earthquake spread outward from off the Sumatran coast. The worst part of it washed away whole cities in Indonesia, but every country on the shore of the Indian Ocean was also affected. In Indonesia, some 240,000 people died from the quake and tsunami combined. About 47,000 more people died, from Thailand to Tanzania, when the tsunami struck without warning during the next few hours. See the link below for more details about the tsunami.
This earthquake was the first magnitude-9 event to be recorded by the Global Seismographic Network (GSN), a worldwide set of 137 top-grade instruments. The nearest GSN station, in Sri Lanka, recorded 9.2 cm of vertical motion without distortion.
The GSN data includes some eyepopping facts. At every spot on Earth, the ground was raised and lowered at least a full centimeter by the seismic waves from Sumatra. The Rayleigh surface waves (one of the four types of seismic waves) traveled around the planet several times before dissipating. Seismic energy was released at such long wavelengths that they were a substantial fraction of the Earth's circumference. Their interference patterns formed standing waves. In effect, the Sumatra earthquake made the Earth ring with these free oscillations like a hammer rings a bell.
The "notes" of the bell, or normal vibrational modes, are at extremely low frequencies: the two strongest modes have periods of about 35.5 and 54 minutes. These oscillations died out within a few weeks. Another mode, the so-called breathing mode, consists of the whole Earth rising and falling at once with a period of 20.5 minutes. This pulse was detectable for several months afterward.

has sumatra,indonnesia ever had an earthquake before 2004?
im doin a report on the 2004 sumatra earthquake and i wanted to include weither or not there was an earthquake beofer it so can u please tell me? o nd source too?
Answer: Oh yeah. Sumatra and most of Indonesia rocks with earthquakes all the time. There's at least one good-sized damaging one every year. About 34 massive ones in the last 10,000 years. It's like California, where the earthquakes never stop, except that they're usually larger than what I get here in San Diego.
It's also different in that here I'm near the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform "slide past each other" plate motion. Sumatra and the other major tectonics of Indonesia are subduction zones, but shallow ones, unlike that off of Washington, so their earthquakes are damaging, where the ones associated with the Cascadia subduction zone aren't.

Answer: More details on Sumatra earthquake.
The time quoted is correct. It is UTC time.The time at India was 6.33 am. The time at Sumatra was about 8 am.The magnitude first declared as 8.7 on Richter scale.after about 3 months America declared as 9.3. But I declared well before Tsunami attack our coast as "I have sensed very big earthquake which I never heard in the history of earthquake. To day is a full moon day. Therefore the sea water may rise to a great height.Kindly alert the people living in coastal area to be ready to move to a safer place in case of emergency." But my warning message was ignored.

What were the causes of the 2009 Sumatra earthquake?
Were the causes just the common causes of a common earthquake??
Answer: It's slightly different than a "common earthquake". The islands of Java and Sumatra are formed by the subduction of the Australian plate under the Eurasian plate. Some places the subduction goes fairly smoothly, and there are few major earthquakes recorded. But in Indonesia, the plates stick together somewhat, and the pressure of the movement has to build up before there is movement. In this case, there was a very large amount of pressure, and when the two plates slipped and moved, there was a huge release of energy. It took more than two minutes for the fault to stop slipping (this was the earthquake), and one side of the fault had risen more than 10 feet against the other. This was the cause of the tsunami.

10 POINTS FOR BEST ANSWER! I need some information on the Sumatra Earthquake (2004)!?
I need to write a paragraph on the Sumatra Earthquake (2004) and I need to include the following:
Magnitude
Location of Epicenter
Damage Done
Felt Where?
Any other facts (did an innovation, invention, development come from this earthquake, anything else?)
Answer: The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on December 26, 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake.[3][4] The resulting tsunami is given various names, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Asian Tsunami, Indonesian Tsunami, and Boxing Day Tsunami.
The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 feet) high.[5] It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest hit, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
With a magnitude of between 9.1 and 9.3, it is the third largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. This earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.4 inches)[6] and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska.[7] Its hypocenter was between Simeulue and mainland Indonesia.[8]
The plight of the many affected people and countries prompted a worldwide humanitarian response. In all, the worldwide community donated more than $7 billion (2004 U.S. dollars) in humanitarian aid.
