Nel corso della tarda serata di ieri un forte #terremoto di magnitudo 6.7 è avvenuto al largo delle coste occidentali dell'Isola di #Sumatra, in Indonesia. La scossa in questione non ha provocato danni significativi o vittime e non ha nemmeno generato uno tsunami. 🧵👇 
Il terremoto di ieri sera ha avuto un meccanismo focale di tipo compressivo, ovvero un tipo di terremoto in cui i due lembi della faglia, avvicinandosi tra loro, fanno salire il blocco di roccia verso l'alto.
Ciò è coerente con il contesto geologico dell'area, proprio al largo dell'isola di Sumatra è infatti in corso un processo di subduzione in cui la placca Indo-Australiana scivola al di sotto della placca della Sonda ad una velocità di circa 50-60 mm l'anno.
