The rupture area of this earthquake is situated within the southern segment, where historical earthquakes include the earthquake of 1797 and the M w ~ 9.0 1833 Sumatra earthquake. [1] [10] Unlike in 2004, the tsunami caused by the October 2010 earthquake did not propagate westwards and other Indian Ocean nations were unaffected.
The 2010 Banyak Islands earthquake occurred on April 7 at 5:15 AM local time with a moment magnitude of 7.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of V (Moderate).The shock occurred near the Banyak Islands, off the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.

The 2010 Chile earthquake registered 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale, [3] ranking it as the 6th strongest earthquake since 1900. The tsunami associated with the Chile earthquake caused tsunami advisories and warning across the entire Pacific Ocean rim, also known as the Ring of Fire .
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
