The ongoing GPS measurements will reveal that at
one time, the Burma and Indian Plate will be locked
again and consequently the Burma Plate then will be
pushed back again to the Eastern direction as before
the 26 December 2004 Earthquake. This will change
the stress situation in the Burma Plate from
extensional to compressional again. As a result, the
existing fault zones might be reactivated again, but
then in a compressional stress regime, increasing the
probability of higher magnitude earthquake in
Southern Thailand.
