Answer:
This table represents the number of earthquakes in the aftershock zone
of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake on 12/26/04 for the ten previous years.
The
numbers of earthquakes located in 2004 does NOT reflect the main shock
or aftershocks from the 9.0. The region encompasses a rectangular box
which extends from 2N to 14N and from 92E to 98E. These statistics were
obtained from the USGS PDE earthquake catalog search page.
