DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe report gives information on earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes in the Northeastern Indian Ocean and adjacent land areas. Most of the seismic activity in this region has occurred along the Burma-Sunda arcs, the 89th meridian between 5 degrees N. and 5 degrees S., and southwest of Ceylon. Tsunamis and other large waves have been reported from most coastal sectors in the area. Damage by tsunamis has been restricted to the coasts of Sumatra and adjacent islands. Active volcanoes in the area are located on Sumatra and Barren Island. A submarine eruption was reported on the flank of the Ninety East Ridge in 1883. Mud volcanoes have been reported from the coast of Burma and off the southwest coast of India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEarthquakes in this area are concentrated along the Indonesian island arc and the portion of the Circum-Pacific seismic belt which extends from New Guinea through Taiwan. Most of the tsunamis which have been reported from this area have occurred in the Banda, Molucca, and Celebes Seas of eastern Indonesia. A few tsunamis have been reported from the Sulu Sea, The northeastern quarter of the South China Sea, the Java Sea-Makassar Strait region, and the Indian Ocean side of Indonesia. Volcanic activity in this area is concentrated into three regions. The first extends along the Indonesian island arc from Sumatra through Ceram. The second borders the Pacific Ocean from New Guinea through the Philippine Islands and Taiwan. The third, a region of submarine volcanism, lies in the South China Sea off South Vietnam.
