Eight more quakes in Andaman-Nicoba

Strange and bizarre things are still happening in Andaman and Nicobar islands.
The tsunami-battered Andaman and Nicobar Islands were on Sunday rocked by a series of eight earthquakes measuring 5 to 5.3 on the Richter scale, even as a slight tremor jolted Uttar Pradesh, India.
The quakes, classified as "moderate" by the India Meteorological Department, started occurring just after midnight Saturday and continued till 8.49 a.m. on Sunday.
The epicentres of the tremors were located off the east coast of Car Nicobar Island, off the north coast of Camorta and northwest of North Andaman Islands.
A met department official said all the tremors were aftershocks of the massive earthquake of Dec 26 that triggered tidal waves in parts of South and Southeast Asia.
According to some Geologists in India the epicenter of the aftershocks are steadily moving northwards along a line. Still the aftershocks have strange gaps between them and the after shocks are not getting reduced in Richter scale.
The strangest thing observed is another smaller but very similar quake in Uttar Pradesh (a state in India), which is in the Northern India adjacent to the Himalayas.
When the epicenters of these quakes are joined with a straight line, it seems that the aftershock epicenter is moving along this line. The aftershocks are between 5.2 and 6.2 in Richter scale. After a series of aftershock there is approximately 78 hours of gap before the next series appears.
All these can be just a coincidence and is nothing unusual say some Geologists. But the continuation of this phenomenon for over a month cannot be just coincidental.
The sailors in Indian Ocean especially in the area of Andaman-Nicobar as well as Sumatra and in Bay of Bengal are weary of what is happening.
These presumed aftershocks can also be the precursor to very large quake of 12 or Richter in Bay of Bengal. And that can a havoc Tsunami in South Asia.
It seems if someone is building a tunnel many miles below the earth’s surface, they are doing it very carefully. The tremors have no pattern and the moving average of the Richter scale readings are not going down.
That is scary says some Geologists and Seismic experts. The amount of energy that has been released in the aftershock is higher than any other case in the world ever recorded.
Some of the Andaman Nicobar tribal people say that they can hear in the earth strange sounds below the ground.
No one is sure what is happening – but in one month more than 145 after shocks have taken place with 5.0 Richter or above. And that is a matter of serious concern.
