Something for discussion.

The impact of the Earthquake causing the Tsunami have caused continous tremors across the Asian Continent and the latest was at Celebes Sea. My point is that from the movement of the tremors, can we assume that the whole plate within the Asian area is shifting? And my biggest worry is the sign of sub-cracks emerging from the Andaman sea area. Is it significant to cause these sub-cracks to continue along the Straits of Malacca? Reports stated that the sea depth at these areas has decreased from ~ 4000ft to a mere 100 ft. (source: http://mathaba.net/x.htm?http://mathaba.net/0_index.shtml?x=94957) This would indicate massive ground movement had happened and if there is sub-cracks, these will deepen or widen.

If the sub-cracks does not happen, then it's OK. But if it does, where would the cracks be? Land sinking in various areas in the west side of Malaysia was reported. Is this caused by sub-cracks?

Could the cracks widen and cause part of Malaysia be separated or even sink?

With your access to satellite data, could this be confirmed?
