Asia Earthquake Threat Hangs Over World Markets
Morning Edition audio Dec 27, 2006
Richard Harris
Two years ago, an earthquake off the coast of Sumatra triggered a tsunami that killed a quarter-of-a-million people. Scientists say Asia is at risk for at least two more massive quakes. One near the source of the 2004 tsunami, the other threatens Tokyo. When they come, the quakes could impact world financial markets.

FALL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION:
The Earthquake That Will Eat Tokyo
Richard A. Kerr

Tokyo is not likely to see another offshore megaquake for many, many decades, researchers reported at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, held here from 11 to 15 December 2006. But the same study finds that a far more immediate threat lies right beneath Tokyo and surrounding cities.
