Scientists underestimated potential for Tohoku quake. Now what?
Corvallis, OR (SPX) Jan 29, 2013
The massive Tohoku, Japan, earthquake in 2011 and Sumatra-Andaman
superquake in 2004 stunned scientists because neither region was thought
to be capable of producing a megathrust earthquake with a magnitude
exceeding ? 8.4.
Now earthquake scientists are going back to the proverbial drawing board
and admitting that existing predictive models looking at maximum
earthquake size are no longerhttp://www.terradaily.com/reports/Scientists_underestimated_potential_for_Tohoku_quake__Now_what_999.html
