mentioned ** the possibility ** of a tsunami occurring. I don't know
that he mentioned the speed, height, devastation or when it MIGHT occur.


At the mid-atlantic ridge, the plates are moving apart and new crust is
being created. This is different from, say, the San Andreas fault, where
plates are scraping each other in a shearing motion and creating many
earthquakes, or the thrust faults around the Indian subcontinent, where
where mountains are slowly being uplifted due to the collision of two
plates (and generating many earthquakes). I believe since there is not
much stress at the mid-Atlantic ridge (relatively) the change of major
earthquakes is small.

I heard last night about a 6.3 or 6.7, I think; but didn't get where it was.

Sulawesi, I think. Or someplace with a similar sounding name.
