		On forearc islands in the Central Domain (between the Batu and Banyak Islands) the trench-normal components were small, suggesting strong partitioning of convergent and transcurrent movements, but it seems that the forearc was largely coupled to the downgoing slab everywhere to the south of the Batu Islands.
		The latter is a dextral splay from the Sumatran Fault that trends offshore near the Banyak Islands and was interpreted by Karig et al.
		On the opposite (eastern) side of the island, rivers have been incised in narrow valleys to depths of 5-10 m within a broad coastal plain east of the Mentawai Fault, suggesting recent and rapid uplift, but further north there is evidence of both uplift and subsidence.

		Forest habitats, particularly important forest areas on small islands in the Nicobar Islands and off Sumatra are likely to have been initially unaffected, but some areas could suffer future damage as a result of saltwater intrusion.
