The BurmeseAndaman Arc System (BAAS) and the West Sunda Arc (WSA) in
NE Indian Ocean are well known for their high seismic hazard and tsunami
potentiality. Seismicity is caused by eastward subduction of the Indian plate to
intermediate focal depths below the BAAS, but the penetration depth goes even
deeper to about 500 km below the WSA. The seismicity map and its correlation to
crustal and mantle faults for this extensive plate margin are presented. This is
achieved by using frequencymagnitude relationship to select larger (mb 5.0)
and comparatively well-recorded events from the available earthquake catalogue
that span for a period of little more than a century (19062008). Barely 14% of
the events qualify the treatment, and the events so selected are subjected to cluster
analysis using a statistical function point density. The clusters found for the arc
demonstrate signicant relationship to subduction geometry in their respective
areas; 11 out of a total of 13 clusters commonly originate below the fore arc.
Earthquakes within the individual clusters have linear fractal geometry consistent
with the traces of seismogenic surfaces that actually produce them. Correlation of
clusters to seismologic depth sections and the composite results derived from 518
CMT solutions of earthquakes establish a close spatial relationship between the
shape and orientation of the clusters with stress axes and regional tectonics. This
provides a three-dimensional perspective on the stress distribution within the
respective clustered seismic zones. Seismic potentiality for ve most conspicuous
clusters is also inferred.

Introduction
The BurmeseAndaman Arc System (BAAS) and West Sunda Arc (WSA) together
constitute a subducting plate margin in the NE Indian Ocean, nearly 2800 km in
length, that serves as the tectonic link between the Western Pacic Arc System with
the Himalayas. BAAS and the WSA have the following tectonic domains: (1) a
northernmost segment of BAAS in Burma where a subduction zone is clearly
discernible in a land environment delimited by Eastern Boundary Thrust (EBT); (2)
further west, the trench zones of Andaman and WSA where the Indian plate

xed western end marked by our earlier study (Dasgupta et al. 2003) have delimited
the entire study area into several blocks of individual seismic characters.
The arc is unique in several ways. First is the intense seismic and tsunami hazard
potentiality of the arc; the last example was the 2004 Sumatra earthquake.
Seismically, the arc is not equally active throughout; a stretch of nearly 800 km
between coastal Burma and the Gulf of Martaban is seismically almost passive.
Second, 40% of the arc lies within the Burmese mainland where the Indian plate
currently subducts to almost 200 km depth. The Neogene tectonics in central Burma
is controlled by the India-Indochina oblique convergence, which is in response to a
major Miocene regional plate kinematic reorganization (Bertrand and Rangin 2003).
Third, the ASR underlying the Andaman Sea relates to the oblique convergence of
the Indian plate at the Asian continental margin (Curray et al. 1979, Mukhopadhyay
1984). Fourth, the subduction depth in central Andaman extends to about 220 km
depth (Dasgupta et al. 2003), but the subduction proceeds to about 500 km depth
below the WAS further south. Fifth, the arc houses several active to dormant
volcanoes, including the active Barren Island volcano in central Andaman. In the
present study, our aim is to search for spatial seismic clusters in the intense seismic
zones of the BAAS and WSA, in order to gain an understanding on the relationship
of potential seismic clusters to structural elements of the subduction zone. In spite of
more than 100 years of instrumental recording in the region (the rst seismological
observatory in SE Asia was established in Calcutta as early as 1897), a major
limitation in the study is the non-uniform status of seismic monitoring for the arc as
a whole, in particular, for the lower-magnitude shocks. This is an outcome of the
typical geometric orientation of the arc, most of which lies oshore, whose remote
islands locate far o from the mainland of SE Asia. These factors introduce
inconsistency and incompleteness in any earthquake catalogue, resulting in inherent
uncertainty in the search for long-term earthquake clustering (Kagan and Jackson
1991), no matter what methodology is adopted. Notwithstanding these limitations,
we present here an analysis of seismic clusters for the BAAS and WSA, and also
investigate their respective stress characters and seismic potentiality.
2.
Seismic data treatment and analysis
It is known that similar events occurring close together in space produce spatial
clusters; particularly, moderate to large magnitude earthquakes often occur in
spatial seismic clusters. A seismic cluster is suspected in a region if it consists of
multiple events with a magnitude greater than a threshold value originating within
an acceptable time period. Any statistical treatment for cluster analysis essentially
therefore depends on the completeness of the earthquake catalogue (Ansari et al.
2009). The earthquake catalogue used in the present study (source: ISS, ISC and
NEIC-USGS) for the BAAS and WSA consists of a total of 13,057 earthquake
records for the period of 19062008 covering a rather wide range of magnitude (2.7
to 8.6) with focal depths extending to as deep as 500 km. Both single and cumulative
earthquake frequency curves are constructed using the catalogue data. The b-value
of earthquakes with mb 4.0 calculated by the regression method is 1.0382
(gure 2(a)). Only 1752 events of magnitude 5.0 and above in the catalogue actually
qualify for cluster analysis. Of these, barely 47 seismic events occurred prior to 1964,
with a magnitude-frequency break-up as follows: 11 events in the magnitude range of
5.05.5, 20 events in the magnitude range 5.66.0 and 16 events of magnitude
286
exceeding 6.0. Earthquake frequency in the lower-magnitude range (mb 5.05.5)

shows a clear increase postdating 1964 (table 1) as a consequence of an increase in
the number of monitoring stations. The selected events exhibit a smoother
cumulative frequency curve (gure 2(b)) with a b-value of 0.9731 calculated by the
regression method; this is similar to the global average of b-value of 1.0. Table 1
earthquakes, classied according to their magnitude, are superposed on a generalized
tectonic map for the BAAS and WSA (gure 3).
Though several visual clusters are apparent on the map (gure 3), the following
spatial statistical functionalities are applied on the dataset in table 1 to constrain
their conguration and extents:

. A point density function is applied to constrain the extent of the clusters. Point
density is a classical spatial statistical tool to identify areas where data points
are concentrated more or vice versa. To calculate the point density, the
distance between the adjacent earthquakes is measured, and a mean distance
(*8 km) is calculated. Half of the mean distance (i.e. 4 km) is taken as the
radius of the circular neighbourhood. The point density is then calculated as
the total number of earthquake epicentral points that fall within a circular
neighbourhood with a specic radius (in this case 4 km) divided by the area of
the neighbourhood. A factor resulting from the size of the earthquake is also
introduced for deriving the point density value, e.g. 6 points are counted
instead 1 for an earthquake of magnitude 6 in the selected neighbourhood.
This is done to oer more weight to larger earthquakes in the calculation. The
measurement is then carried out in an overlapping grid pattern where the
centre of the circle has been moved across the map (both along latitude and
longitude) by a sliding distance of 4 km. The calculated point density value is
stored in a grid point at the centre of the circle. The resulting values obtained
by this sliding grid process have a mean (M) of 0.0027 and standard deviation
(SD) of 0.008772. The areas with anomalous point density (value 4 (M 2
SD), i.e. 0.020244) have been marked as zones of spatial clusters and shown as
closed grey polygons (gure 4). This process identies 13 numbers of spatial
clusters of variable sizes with numbers C1 to C13 across the entire study area.
. Comparative statistics between clustered and non-clustered events presented in
gure 5 show that almost half the population (table 1) actually originates
within the cluster domains. The gure also illustrates their respective single and
cumulative frequencymagnitude relationships. The b value calculated by the
regression method for the cluster zone is somewhat lower (0.8195) than that for
the non-cluster zone (0.9967). However, this apparent increase in b-value is
probably attributable to data inhomogeneity, rather than any true signicance
in data coverage for smaller-magnitude shocks.
. The geometric conguration of the clustered and non-clustered earthquakes is
further constrained by fractal analysis to understand the causeeect
relationship between the occurrence of seismicity and the underlying processes
that produce them. Further, once the fractal or scale-independent nature of
occurrence of seismicity is established, the fractal dimension gives the exact
geometric relationship between the earthquakes points and the underlying
causative surfaces. The Box-counting method (Feeder 1988) is used to calculate
the fractal dimensions. The seismicity points are overlain with a grid of square
boxes (pixels), which progressed from the smallest to successively larger boxes
by combining the pixels in an up-scale manner (Cheng 1999). The numbers of
boxes (Nn) of size rn required to cover data are plotted on a loglog scale as a
function of rn. To denote the distribution as fractal, Nn with a characteristic
linear dimension greater than rn must satisfy the relation Nn C/NnD, where
C is the proportionality constant, and D is the fractal dimension. D is
calculated as factor log(Nn1/Nn)/log(rn/rn1) (Turcotte 1997). The seismicity
data for both clustered and non-clustered domains (the plots of log (Nn) versus
log(1/rn)) give straight lines (right panel in gure 5). These plots indicate that
the seismicity of both cases obeys scale-invariant fractal geometry, but the
causative processes that generate such geometric conguration are dierent.
The seismicity in a cluster indicates line fractal geometry with fractal

dimension 1.059, whereas the non-clustered seismicity designates a point

fractal geometry with fractal dimension 0.8796. This also implies that the
seismicity points in clusters are arranged to form a linear pattern on the map,

analogous to the traces of major seismogenic surfaces represented as a

curvilinear line. Strain release by well-connected seismogenic surfaces at depth
control the orientation of the clusters. On the contrary, such linear geometry is
absent in case of non-clustered earthquakes with fractal dimension (0.8796),
which indicates agglomeration of points. The disposition of such point fractals
is not directly controlled by any seismogenic surface at depth, instead
indicating sporadic strain release.
The visual relationship, thus illustrated in the foregoing section between seismic
clusters and tectonic features, shows their signicant distribution largely in the forearc for this extensive plate margin but to a much lesser extent with the ASR.

Discussion on cluster characteristics

Burmese Arc Clusters
Clusters C1, C2 and C3 are recognized for the Burmese Arc (gures 4 and 6(a)); these
are located in north to north-central Burma in the zones of moderate seismicity.
Earthquake parameters of the clusters (earthquake statistics embodied in a cluster,
magnitude and depth ranges, length of the major axis) are given in table 2. Of these,
cluster C2 is the largest with a maximum number of earthquakes; it is elliptical in
shape with a strike length of 130 km, trends north-east and is thus sub-parallel to the
local structural orientation of the arc. C1 is a small elliptical cluster in the north of

Burma. C3 is a north-trending elliptical cluster located south of C2 in the same

structural trend. While C2 and C3 clusters originate from the subducting Indian
plate (refer to the corresponding depth sections in gures 6(c) and 6(d)), cluster C1 is
from the overriding Burmese plate (gure 6(b)). None of these clusters, however,
shows any association with the Burmese Volcanic Arc, which implies their tectonic
origin, rather than their volcanic anity.
The clusters C1C3 are separated by lithospheric hinge faults, where subduction
penetrates to depths of 150 km at the location of cluster C1 to 200 km at cluster C3,
292
but then diminish to 160 km to the immediate south (Dasgupta et al. 2003). The
average dip of the Benio zone below the three clusters ranges from 428 to 508 E
(gure 6). Most of the Burmese Arc seismic potentiality is therefore expected at these
locales where the clusters are seen. Note that the remainder of the Burmese Arc for a
distance of 1000 km up to north Andaman (where the next neighbouring clusters C4
and C5 are seen) is a cluster-free region (gure 4), as signied by its rather low level
of seismicity. This is probably an outcome of passive tectonic process where the
hanging lithospheric slab is being dragged northward through the surrounding
lithosphere, as postulated by Le Dain et al. (1984). A somewhat analogous low
seismic region and an example of time-dependent earthquake occurrence are known
for the Lower Rhine Embayment (Faenza et al. 2007).
3.2
Andaman Arc Clusters
Seismic clusters C4C9 are located between central and south parts of the Andaman
Arc (gures 4, 7(a) and 8(a)). As before, the earthquake parameters of the clusters
are also indexed in table 2. All of them are shallow depth clusters but contain highermagnitude shocks (often exceeding mb 6.0, sometimes as high as mb 8.0).
Clusters C4 and C5 are located over the Andaman fore-arc (gures 7(b) and (c)),
whereas cluster C6 is found at the south Andaman trench (gure 7(d)) (this is similar
to cluster C12 seen for the West Sunda Trench; see below). Clusters C7 and C8 are
correlated with the ASR (gures 7(a), (e) and (f)). Cluster C9 is the longest of all; it
has a strike length of 324 km, contains maximum number of earthquakes and is
clearly associated with the West Andaman Fault and its southern continuation to the

Semangko Fault in Sumatra (gures 7(a) and (b)). The penetration depth of the
subducting Indian plate in central and south Andaman extends from 130 to 220 km,
where the dip of the Benio zone varies from 308 to 458 E (Dasgupta et al. 2003).
Such large variations in both the penetration depth and dip angle of the Benio zone
are typical of plate kinematics in the central and southern parts of the Andaman arc.
3.3
West Sunda Arc Clusters
Seismic clusters C10C13 are seen in oshore Sumatra (gures 4 and 9(a)). As
before, the earthquake parameters of the clusters are indexed in table 2. These are
shallow to moderate depth clusters with a high seismicity. The conguration for all
four clusters follows the structural outline of the outer sedimentary arc of the Nias
and other islands. Seismically, this presents one of the most destructive regions in the
world, where the 26 December 2004 Sumatra earthquake (Mw 9.3) and 2005 Banyak
Island earthquake (Mw 8.7) hit. Cluster C13 is the widest of all in this zone
(gure 9(a)) with a strike length of 460 km. Clusters C10 and C13 have earthquakes
belonging to both plates (gures 9(b) and 9(e)), whereas cluster C11 belongs only to
the overriding SE Asian plate (gure 9(c)). Cluster C12 is located below the West
Sunda Trench (gure 9(d)).
The present understanding on subduction kinematics for this complex arc can be
improved only when a comparison of results of clustering analysis with more
homogeneous data sets becomes available with a combination of greater

instrumental data coverage, in particular, for smaller magnitude earthquakes. A

temporary digital network established on the Andaman Islands by the Geological
Survey of India recorded about 18,000 small aftershocks in about 10 weeks following
the 26 December 2004 Sumatra earthquake; the recorded magnitude is 3.0 and above
(Mishra et al. 2007).
4.
Stress distributions and strain partitioning within seismic clusters
The Indian plate moves in a N108 E to N178 E direction between latitude 28 N (958 E
longitude) and 48 N (938 E) at rates of 52 mm and 61 mm per year, respectively,
beneath the Sunda Plate (Sieh and Natawidjaja 2000). The motion changes its
orientation to N238 E at 98 N latitude (928 E longitude) at a rate of about 54 mm
per year (DeMets et al. 1990). GPS data also indicate a non-negligible eastwest
convergence along the Andaman arc (Paul et al. 2001). Such dierential movement
vectors making a small angle to the trench axis in this oblique deformation front are
partitioned between two stress components, one parallel to the trench and the other
perpendicular to it. The trench parallel motion has been consumed along a largescale crustal structure with a dominant strike-slip motion (WAF, SFS and ShanSagaing fault) parallel to the trench along fore-arc and also by back-arc spreading in
ASR by leaky transform tectonics. The trench perpendicular component generates
large-scale thrust-related motions in segments along the fore-arc (Eastern Boundary
Thrust; gap between the Andaman trench and WAF, etc.).
295
The stress distribution and strain partitioning along dierent sectors have been
studied in details on map and in depth sections across the clusters. Tectonic analyses
of clusters are carried out with the help of composite CMT plots generated from 518
well-constrained CMT solutions collected from the HRVD website. The zone from
north Burma to Sumatra has been associated with both positive and negative slips;
the positive slip is accommodated primarily by thrust motion, whereas the negative
slip is by normal fault or oblique slip movements. The pure strikeslip motion is in
between positive and negative slips. The composite CMT plots are constructed for
the clusters (gures 69) distributed along the entire length of the Burmese
Andaman arc to illustrate the variation in stress axes and orientation of causative
fault planes. By composite CMT plot, here we mean that all the P, T axes and pole of
nodal planes of the earthquakes belonging to one cluster/multiple clusters (as the
case may be) are plotted on a stereographic projection for tectonic analysis,
irrespective of their type of fault plane solutions.
4.1
Burmese Arc Clusters: C1C3
CMT solutions corresponding to all three clusters found for the Burmese Arc are
listed in table 3. This is a thrust-dominated domain, with subordinate strike-slip
movements. Cluster C1 is a shallow focus thruststrike-slip domain in the overriding
Burma plate; C2 is an intermediate focus (4100 km) thrust-dominated domain with
occasional strikeslip earthquakes along the plate interface/subducting Indian Plate.
Similarly, C3 indicates a predominantly thrust domain in the subducting Indian
Plate. It can also be seen that the strike-slip earthquakes within this predominantly
thrust domain occur along the terminal ends of the elliptical cluster boundary. These
strike slip earthquakes occur due to the movement of adjacent cross-cutting hinge
faults, inferred by Dasgupta et al. (2003). Thus, the three clusters in between EBT
and the volcanic arc indicate earthquake concentration predominantly along the
plate interface or within plate. The CMT solution shows an overall NESW
compression at a shallow angle (108) and a NWSE extension at a moderately high
angle (568) along this sector (table 4). The CMT data clearly show a dominance of
thrust movement in the C2C3 clusters with subordinate strike-slip motion both
occurring even beyond a depth of 100 km; this was indicated previously by Stork
et al. (2008) in the Burma subduction zone.
The right-lateral strike-slip motion in both the plates is consistent with the
geometry in Burmese arc and surrounding terrains in China where right-lateral
strike-slip movement predominates along NS to NWSE planes. The motion of
the Indian plate is primarily accommodated by the positive slips associated with
the thrust movement along EBT zones resulting in formation of C2 and C3
clusters. The counter motion on the overriding plate generates the cluster C1. The
residual slip adjustment takes place along the Shan-Sagaing fault that principally
accommodates a sizeable amount of the motion by aseismic slip/creep along its
length up to the Gulf of Martaban and may have contributed to the extension
along ASR.

and normal fault events have predominantly been generated by bending of the
subducting Indian Plate and occurred at the leading edge of the subduction zone and
the trench where the Indian plate descends. The concentration of strike-slip events in
the northern extremity of C4 cluster indicates the strike-slip movement along the
adjacent mantle penetrating hinge fault. Clusters C7 and C8 found below the ASR
exhibit predominantly normal and subordinate strike-slip events that illustrate the
basic tectonic pattern under the spreading arc. The strain partitioning in terms of
normal and strike-slip movement demonstrate dyke intrusion, spreading, rift
formation and collapse of rift wall, rift-related volcanism and generation of
earthquake swarms along ASR (Mukhopadhyay and Dasgupta 2008). The
composite CMT plot of C4, C5 and C6 clusters disposed parallel to the Andaman
trench shows thrust movement along NS-oriented thrust planes dipping *308
easterly (gure 7(a)). Both compression and tensional directions are oriented EW
where compression prevails at a shallower angle (248), while extension is taken up at
higher angle (648). This situation gets reversed at C7C8 clusters along ASR where
overall strain partitioning is normal along ENEWSW-oriented planes. Overall
compression is at a high angle (798) along NWSE, whereas extension dominates at a
shallower angle (128) along a NNWSSE direction (table 4). The tectonics along
clusters C7 and C8 is represented by penetration of crustal scale faults inside the hot
mantle along the upper plate, inuence of branches of Kerguelen plume, magmatic
dyke intrusion, rifting and spreading that have been taken place for last 4 Ma. The
cluster has a shallow depth connotation up to 30 km, which by itself is suggestive of
the presence of an upwelling hot mantle underneath it.
4.3
South Andaman Sea Cluster C9
This large cluster has almost equal numbers of normal and strike-slip events. The
distribution of both strike-slip and normal fault events in this cluster zone actually
310
corresponds to a complex faulting episode: normal faulting for the rift zone and
strike-slip movements for its transgressive regional faults. This cluster is found in the
area where a swarm of events originated within a span of only 6 days between 26 and
31 January 2005, following the occurrence of the great Andaman earthquake (Mw
9.3) of 26 December 2004. The analysis and supporting evidence suggest that the
earthquakes in this cluster are generated by intruding magmatic dykes along the
weak zones in the crust, followed by rifting, spreading and collapse of rift walls
(Mukhopadhyay and Dasgupta 2008). Magma injection in rifted areas commonly
invokes the injection of shallow, vertical, en-echelon dykes extending along a narrow
rift zone, and this injection accounts for the initial strike-slip motion followed by the
collapse of the closely spaced inner rift wall with earthquakes of a normal fault
source mechanism (Hill 1977). Similarly, CMT solutions for 2005 swarm activity
indicate that intrusion of magmatic dyke in the crustal weak zone is documented by
earthquakes showing a strike-slip solution. Subsequent events with a normal fault
mechanism corroborate the rift formation, collapse and its spread. The overall
composite CMT plot (gure 8(c)) indicates a major strike-slip motion with an
appreciable normal component along a steep-dipping (868) NESW plane. Both
compressional and tensional axes make a shallow angle (24168) along the NS and
ESEWNW directions respectively (table 4). The composite plot along the WAF
shows primarily a normal with right-lateral strike-slip component along a steep
dipping NESW trending surface in the overriding upper plate. Based on evidence
from seismology, bathymetry, gravity, time-dependent pore pressure perturbations,
rift-related volcanism and calculations on phases of rifting, we assume that a nascent
rift is in the process of formation at this location (Mukhopadhyay and Dasgupta
2008, Mukhopadhyay et al. 2010). The orientation of the nascent rift is perpendicular to the regional trend of strike-slip faults of WAF and SFS.
4.4
Oshore Sumatra Clusters: C10C13
This is by far the largest and most active seismic zone in the whole region. This zone
contains the aftershocks of two great earthquakes of recent times (Sumatra
Andaman earthquake Mw 9.3 of 26 December 2004 and Banyak Island earthquake
Mw 8.7 of 28 March 2005). The zone (gure 9(a)) is almost exclusively dominated by
earthquakes of thrust mechanisms, related to the underthrusting of the Indian plate
below the Sunda Arc and also from the overriding SE Asian Plate. The overall
orientation of the thrust planes derived from the composite CMT plot is NWSE
dipping 258 north-easterly (gure 9(a), table 4). PT axes are orientated NESW in
close correspondence to the structural disposition of the arc geometry. The
concentrations of normal fault-related earthquakes in the longitudinal ends of
otherwise thrust-dominated cluster C13 are probably indicative of severe gravity
adjustments following the thrusting events. The association of earthquakes
belonging to both subducting and overriding plates to create the clusters will be
discussed in detail in the following section.
In this section, cluster C10 consists of two clusters A and B (gure 9(b), table 4).
These two clusters belong to the Indian and SE Asian plates. The strain partitioning
and stress distribution is similar in both these clusters depicting consistent thrust
motion along the NWSE plane (parallel to arc disposition) dipping less than 308
north-easterly. Such consistent thrust plane geometries along subducting and
overriding plates is also noticed in the depth section following the largest cluster C13
311
in this belt (gure 9(e)). The depth section across cluster C13 shows that it contains
two clusters C (subducting Indian plate cluster) and D (overriding SE Asian plate
cluster). Both these clusters have thrust-dominated movement along the NWSE
striking plane dipping less than 228 towards the north-east parallel to WSA.
Similar geometry and stress partitioning in both the plates in clusters C10 and
C13 indicate high seismic coupling, with the extreme compressive nature of this
zone resulting from slow subduction of the old Indian plate (Stein and Okal 2007).
Here, a noticeable feature is the absence of trench parallel strike-slip motion that is
otherwise so prominent along the entire belt. The fault unclamping along shallow
dipping thrust planes (5308) resulted in the SumatraAndaman earthquake of
2004 (Mw 9.3) and Banyak Island earthquake of 2005 (Mw 8.7) on either side of
the cluster C13 without altering the fault zone frictional condition (Bilek 2007),
having a sharp boundary of separation of aftershocks (Engdahl et al. 2007) along a
NNESSW ridge that acts as a separator (Franke et al. 2008). The two
earthquakes have a dierent strain release pattern (Dewey et al. 2007). The high
seismic coupling breaks down northward in between C10 and C9 (gure 4) due to
the very buoyant warm crust towards the north (from the tomographic results of
Shapiro et al. 2008) where the strike-slip component is dominant again. The zone
also indicates probable crustal heterogeneity as indicated by dierential slip along
the rupture plane recorded along the arc during the rupture propagation of the
2004 Andaman Earthquake (Subarya et al. 2006, Banerjee et al. 2007, Rhie et al.
2007). From cluster C9 northward, under the Andaman frontal arc region, the
oblique component of plate motion predominates due to a probable inuence
of the aseismic 908 E Ridge on the Indian Plate (Gahalaut et al. 2010), whereas
south to it, compressive components of the thrust realm predominate, as indicated
in the present study. This inference prompts us to believe that future megathrust events (with potential to generate a tsunami in the Indian Ocean) will
only be restricted in between the clusters C10 and C13. The potentiality of this
zone to generate a tsunamogenic earthquake is also discussed elsewhere (Fujii and
Satake 2007, Hebert et al. 2007) along with physical records of tsunami from the
last 1000 years (Monecke et al. 2008). The clusters and intervening zone between
C1 and C10 may spawn moderate magnitude earthquakes resulting from either
strike-slip or normal movement. The occurrence of one major earthquake on
11.8.2009 (mb 7.6; latitude 14.013: longitude 92.923) as a slab bending event with a
normal fault plane solution (NEIC) north of north Andaman Island attests this
conclusion.
5.
Seismic potentiality of the large clusters
Seismic potentiality in terms of maximum earthquake size and predictable crustal

movement associated with the ve large clusters discussed in the foregoing, namely
C2, C8, C9, C10 and C13, are attempted here. The purpose of this analysis is to
make a statistical inference on the probable size of an earthquake expected from the
large clusters. This is done using an approach discussed by Wells and Coppersmith
(1994). The analysis is based on the length of the major axis of a cluster already
derived (table 2) and by treating it as the potential rupture length to predict the
earthquake size depending on the type of movementstrike-slip or thrust.
Maximum seismic potentiality is inferred for cluster C13 that may spawn an
earthquake of estimated size Mw 8.8, with a rupture length of 460 km, having an
312
anticipated thrust movement. In fact, this zone of seismic cluster has generated two
mega-earthquakes in the recent past: SumatraAndaman earthquake Mw 9.3 of 26
December 2004 and the Banyak Island earthquake Mw 8.7 of 28 March 2005.
Similarly, clusters C2 and C10 with a thrust anity can generate earthquakes of
maximum magnitude Mw 7.9 and 8.2, whereas C8 and C9 may generate earthquakes
of Mw 7.6 and 8.2, respectively.

Conclusions
The seismicity map and its correlation to crustal and mantle faults for the BAAS and
WSA are given in this study. For this, only 1752 events of mb 5.0 and above are
selected, using frequencymagnitude relationships, from an earthquake catalogue of
13,057 events, spread over more than a century. The selected events constitute barely
14% of the entire dataset. A cluster analysis using the methodology discussed in this
study brings out 13 clusters distributed in dierent segments of the arc system.
Nearly half the earthquake population below the arc is actually conned to these
clusters that have a linear fractal geometry consistent with the traces of seismogenic
surfaces. Correlation of clusters to seismological depth sections and the result
derived from 518 CMT solutions of earthquakes reveals details on the distribution of
stress axes, their variation between the individual clusters and the corresponding
faulting pattern. With the exception of the back-arc seismicity (clusters C7 and C8),
the clusters correspond closely with the thrust planes under the fore-arc. Epicentres
in clusters are much shallower, only 50 km (except C2 and C3), for BAAS and within
100 km for WSA. Moreover, the cluster in the western part (C12) of WSA is of a
shallower depth of 3040 km. This is interesting and important because clustering of
seismicity is conned in both plates: the subducting Indian plate and the overriding
Burmese/SE Asian plate. These results provide a composite three-dimensional
perspective on the stress distribution between the clustered seismic zones of the arc
and their relationship to focal depths. We have argued elsewhere that a nascent rift
around 88 N latitude skirting the Sewell Seamount in south Andaman Sea shows up
as a conspicuous seismic zone (Mukhopadhyay and Dasgupta 2008, Mukhopadhyay
et al. 2010) (gure 4). It is interesting to note that this is situated near the present
Cluster 9 in front of the Andaman subduction zone. The seismic potentiality of the
clusters reveals that clusters C2, C8, C9, C10 and C13 may generate earthquakes
varying from Mw 7.6 to 8.8.
