5. Old fractures caused rare 8.6 magnitude earthquake
On 11 April 2012, an 8.6 magnitude earthquake occurred 100 kilometers (62
miles) off the coast of Sumatra. This earthquake was unusual in that it originated
within the plate rather than at a plate boundary. In fact, it is the largest such

Basin in the Indian Ocean, where hundreds of kilometers of rock were under
crushing tension, causing
