Ranong Fault Revived, and more earthquakes

Hay peoples, not sure if you really want to hear all these tsunami and earthquake news... But here are the links for those who are interested....



Tsunami revives passive Ranong fault near Phuket:

A one-kilometre crack has opened in the ocean floor north of Phuket, Thailand, sparking fears that the dormant Ranong fault has been revived following the Dec 26 undersea earthquake, reports Xinhua.

At Tambon Ratchagrud in Ranong district, north of Phuket, villagers have found a one-km crack on the ocean floor from which a steady stream of air bubbles are surfacing 500 metres offshore in Laem Son Bay.

The area is near the passive Ranong fault that has been inactive for years, said district chief Chanat Kaewbamrung.
