Description 453-462
Present study is based on data analysis of
selected data between the time of occurrences of two large Sumatra
earthquakes in 2004 and 2012. Results, based on the changes in baseline length
between several pair of GPS sites used in this study, show that with reference
to Eurasian plate, the Western Java is moving away from the Southern tip of the
Indian plate at the rate of 0.0191±0.0029 m/yr. Strain accumulation rate across
the Sunda subduction zone i.e., for the station pair COCO-BAKO is -3.42204 10-8 /yr, which shows that the Wharton basin, Northeast
of the Indian ocean, undergoes active crustal deformation due to accumulation
of significant strain rate and dispersed during an earthquake.
