  1. Seismicity in Sumatra-Andaman Seismic Belt during 1960-2005 Adisorn FoongkajornChiang Mai Seismic Station

  2. Abstract A drop of number of seismicity is a seismic precursor (Bath,1979). During 1960-2005, earthquakes in Sumatra-Andaman seismic belt had occurred continually. After deployment of the World Wide Standardized Seismograph Network (WWSSN) in 1960’s, instrumentally seismic data of the region has been collected systematically. According to this study more than 3000 of the earthquakes of magnitude  5 in the Sumatra-Andaman seismic belt were analyzed and mapped. About 10% decline of seismicity was found in 1990’s. Then the most destructive event of the region occurred on 26 December 2004 with consequently high seismicity.

  5. Seismic precursors- Decreasing Vp/Vs (10-20% change) Electrical resistivity (15% change) Number of seismicity • Increasing (geodetic measurements) Tilt Vertical motion Volumetric strain • (Bath, 1979:298)

  26. Major Earthquakes in Sumatra-Andaman Seismic Belt during 1900-1959

  27. Major Earthquakes in Sumatra-Andaman Seismic Belt during 1900-2005

  28. Conclusions According to the study more than 3000 of the earthquakes of magnitude  5 in the Sumatra-Andaman seismic belt during 1960-2005 were analyzed and mapped. About 10% decline of seismicity was found in 1990’s. Then the most destructive event of the region occurred on 26 December 2004 with consequently high seismicity. The drop of number of seismicity is precursory potential for earthquake prediction.
