July 17, 200619 yr If I understand it right, this is all still on the same plate that ruptured the day after Christmas in 04, right? Either way the amount of activity down there is just CRAZY, there have been tons of earthquakes and volcanic activity throughout that whole region.

Either way the amount of activity down there is just CRAZY, there have been tons of earthquakes and volcanic activity throughout that whole region. It'd be more accurate to call it the same collision zone/subduction zone that ruptured in 04 and 05. But that is a very long subduction zone, it stretches from the point that India hits Asia all the way to somewhere around New Guinea. This one to my eyes looks to be outside the range where it would have anything to do with the 04-05 events. In fact, along that zone, this would actually be a fairly small quake overall.
