Slip is partitioned between convergence and strike-slip motion, which in the northern Andamans is assisted by back-arc spreading. Subduction-zone earthquakes prior to the rupture occurred largely to the east and at greater depths than the area ruptured in the shallow 2004 megathrust. Large thrust earthquakes in 1847 (Mw > 7.5), 1881 (Mw 7.9), and 1941... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
