(CNN) -- An earthquake measuring a preliminary magnitude of 8.2 struck off the
coast of Indonesia Monday -- on the same fault line that originated a December
26 earthquake that launched a deadly tsunami.
The director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said scientists there feared
another tsunami might hit the area.
Charles McCreary said he could not be certain that the quake, which was 30 km d
eep and 203 kilometer (126 miles) from Sibolga on Sumatra Island, would cause a
tsunami.
"There is a potential for some wave activity," said Julie Martinez, a geophysic
ist at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center, in
Golden, Colo.
The quake occurred at 1109 ET (1609 GMT), and is considered a "great" earthquak
e, the largest of seven grades.
The grades are very minor, minor, light, moderate, strong, major and great.
Tsunamis are distinguished from normal coastal surf by their great length and s
peed. A single wave in a tsunami series might be 160 kilometers (100 miles) lon
g and race across the ocean at 960 kph (600 mph).
When it approaches a coastline, the wave slows dramatically, but it also rises
to great heights because the enormous volume of water piles up in shallow coast
al bays.
On December 26, a 9.0-magnitude quake triggered a massive tsunami that devastat
ed Asian and African coastlines in nearly a dozen nations, killing at least 175
,000 people.
