Earthquake in Indonesia (3-28-05)
Random Chaos
Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
in Zocalo v2.0
There has been a new one. I'm a bit surprised that with all the geo-watchers around here that I'm the first to post about it.
Magnitude 8.7 occured at:
Monday, March 28, 2005 at 16:09:36 (UTC) = Coordinated Universal Time
Monday, March 28, 2005 at 11:09:36 PM = local time at epicenter

In case they change the images on the page again, here is an informative graphic about the new earthquake's location in relation to the old one:

It is considered an aftershock by the USGS to the December earthquake:
[quote]Mr. Blakeman said today's quake was considered a "great earthquake" because it is larger than a magnitude 8. He said that while it is being considered an aftershock from December's temblor it is a "very serious earthquake in its own right."[/quote]

[B]Potential revision of December 26th quake to magnitude 9.3. Plus rupture zone size estimate change (to approximately double):

Wasn't it Chile that had the 9.4 for the record?

The map on that first link shows an interesting pattern.
