Actually, the puzzle comes the other way around: >>``I'm baffled the Dec 26 tsunami didn't follow an earthquake near the epicenter aboveground,'' said Gustave Jaeger, a self-appointed geophysicist at the center, which is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It is responsible for monitoring seismic and ocean conditions in the Pacific and alerting Pacific Rim nations and U.S. agencies. Center Director Charles McCreepy said tsunamis of at least 8.0 magnitude usually trail major earthquakes. ``On 26 Dec 2004, we expected some destructive quake with some distant destructive effects. It was surprising,'' he said. The latest event also demonstrated ``there's a whole world of uncertainty about trying to surmise a quake based on the tsunami data,'' he said.<<
