		Migration of the tribes on the Andamans has been by crossing the sea using the islands as stepping stones, but in due time their knowledge confined to the sea was lost.
		For this purpose Great Andamans were used as informants and supporters by the British, a crucial error intensifying the hostile attitude towards the British as well as the inherent rivalry towards the Great Andamanese.

		While one Great Andamanese tribe after the other was contacted, their lands explored and friendly relations established and new diseases spread to all and sundry, the Jarawa remained stubbornly hostile and resistant to all attempts at establishing contact.
		It was interesting to note that, unlike their behavior when in the jungles of the Great Andaman, the Onges on each occasion that they have been on the North Sentinel, have taken the lead in searching the forest for Jarawa [=Sentineli], and seemed to have no fear of them.

	Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake of December 2004: New Insights That Will Change the Next 40 Years and the Plate ...
		The Andaman segment of the December rupture was characterized by less than 2 m (6.6 ft) of slip from 350 to 600 seconds after rupture initiation.
		The most remarkable aspect of the Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake was the slow slip that followed the initial, rather characteristic rupture and unzipping of a plate boundary.
		The most important thing learned from the Great Sumatra- Andaman Earthquake is that the complexity and uneven aspect of fault slip in great earthquakes is at least as great as some feared, only now the complexity can be partly quantified.

		Previous earthquakes in the range of the Sumatra-Andaman great earthquake occurred in Kamchatka, Russia in 1952; the Aleutians in 1957; southern Chile in 1960, and Prince William Sound, Alaska in 1964, long before current computational methods for modeling earthquakes were possible.
		The researchers found that the earthquake originated and was strongest just north and west of the island of Sumatra, Indonesia and decreased in strength as it ruptured north to the Nicobar and Andaman Islands, India in the Bay of Bengal.
		Fault movement from this earthquake was nearly all north of the epicenter.

		Their analysis shows that the fault broke along a 400-kilometer length, and that the length of the break was limited by unstrained sections of the fault on either end.
		The researchers continue to express concern that another section of the great fault, south of the 2005 rupture, is likely to cause a third great earthquake in the not-too-distant future.
		From the coral and GPS measurements, the researchers found that the 2005 earthquake was associated with uplift of up to three meters over a 400-kilometer stretch of the Sunda megathrust, the giant fault where Southeast Asia is overriding the Indian and Australian plates.

		The December earthquake, and another remarkably great earthquake on March 28, 2005, together ruptured a 1600-kilometer-long portion of the fault boundary – the longest fault rupture ever observed - between the Indo-Australian and southeastern Eurasian plates.
		Among their findings is that the age of the oceanic plates increases from about 60,000 to 90,000 years between Sumatra and the Andaman Islands, which may influence the nature of the faulting.
		Improved tsunami-warning capabilities in the Indian Ocean, are warranted, say the authors, given the inevitability of future great earthquakes along the Sumatra subduction zone.

		The great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of December 26, 2004, was an event of stunning proportions, both in its human dimensions--nearly 300,000 lives lost--and as a geological phenomenon.
		More than 150 earthquakes of magnitude 5 and greater occurred over a four-day period in late January on faults beneath the Andaman Sea that were activated by the rupture of the main fault along the plate boundary to the west.
		Now, concern about additional earthquakes is focused on the next area to the southeast, which last failed in a great earthquake in 1833.

		Another Negrito group, the Jarawas on Great Andaman island suffered not only as result of diseases introduced by outsiders but also because of punitive expeditions carried out by the British and the Japanese who occupied the islands and built bunkers and fortifications on them during World War II.
		Since the construction of the Andaman Truck road connecting the administrative centre of Port Blair with Diglipur, on Great Andaman, the Jarawas have been increasingly coming into contact with Indian settlers who originally came to build the road but then stayed on as encroachers.
