With one or two exceptions, the earth seems to be regarded as having always existed in very much the same form as today. "Apparently one of the clearest characteristics of the mythology of the Melanesian area is the almost total lack of myths relating to the origin of the world. It is quite characteristic for small islands in the Dragon's Triangle to frequently disappear and new islands appear due to both volcanoes and seismic activity." 3. "Another explanation for this "paranormal" activity could be the undersea volcanoes that are very common in this area. In the U.S., The New York Times introduced this incident with the term "The Devil's Sea," where nine ships had been lost in perfect weather." Yomiuri Shimbun showed a map of the sea with points of several other ships that had been lost in recent years, and stated that those ships were lost within the area that the Yokohama Coast Guard Office had classified as a special danger area. 10 (第十伸洋丸) lost radio contact near Mikura-jima Japanese newspapers began to label the location as ma no umi until the ship was found safe on 15 January. "In 4 January 1955, Japanese ship Shinyo Maru No. "The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone" 2. And then, of course, on the other side of that, things start aging again." But alongside Sumatra, the crust is much younger, as young as 45 million years old. South of western Java, it’s younger, maybe 80 million years old. “South of eastern Java,” Dr Dyment said, pointing to a brightly coloured map on his computer, “the lithosphere is about 120 million years old. "One of the root causes of all this activity could be the age of the lithosphere, that ever-spreading, always-moving seafloor crust. This resistance may be one explanation for the recent strong earthquakes this area has been experiencing over the past several decades. This screen shot from Dr Jerome Dyment’s computer shows how younger, more buoyant lithosphere is resisting subduction west of Sumatra. “The 2012 earthquakes then created seismic movements so large that they may have caused even more stress to the subduction zone." "“It seems to me that the M 9.2 earthquake in 2004 induced enough stress on the Indo-Australian plate that it may have triggered the 2012 earthquakes,” Dr Hananto said. The sizes of these earthquakes were big - the M 8.6 was the largest intraplate earthquake ever recorded,” said Dr Hananto." "“The Wharton Basin is an important geological site because in 2012 we had two very large earthquakes, M 8.6 and M 8.2, occur there. I then had to locate each of these places, some I knew about and some were not quite what I had thought they were.
First I found the earliest version of the image and added higher quality text. I had this old image saved back in 2014, and I decided to make a higher quality version.
