Massive quake off Sumatra
November 02, 2002 AUSTRALIAN scientists have recorded a massive earthquake registering 7.7 on the Richter scale just offshore from central Sumatra, Indonesia.
The quake was centred within 200km offshore from the central Sumatran centre of Padang at 1220 (AEDT). Dr Mark Leonard of Geoscience Australia said an earthquake of such size occurred only two or three times in the world in any year. "It's about the same magnitude of the very destructive Gujarat quake in India two years ago (which killed thousands of people). It's that kind of size," he said. "It's not likely to be as destructive because it was offshore." Dr Leonard said any resultant tsunami would already have occurred.
