The analysis of 2 earthquakes of great force showed the complexity of the oceanic lithosphere breaking process. It also indicated that this process is connected with other great events that have occurred. It is a known fact that huge earthquakes tend to trigger a series of earthquakes of a small magnitude. This series of earthquakes is triggered globally in the following hours and days after the big earthquake. Until this time, no aftershocks that have a magnitude bigger or equal to 5.5 have been recorded. The only one that was ever recorded that breaks this rule is the aftershock that had a 6.9 magnitude that resulted from the surface waves of another quake that had a magnitude of 6.6, 4,800 KM away. As for the largest magnitude of a strike slip event, it was the earthquake that occurred in the East Indian Ocean that had an 8.6 magnitude. Most of the time, the earthquakes with a large magnitude tend to nucleate around the boundaries of the tectonic plate. As for the occurrence of large earthquakes in the interior of the plate, it is very poorly documents and very scarce. For every rule, there is an exception and the exception of this rule is the 2 huge earthquakes that hit the Indian Ocean on April 11, 2012. They are considered the biggest strike-slip events that ever got recorded. These two quakes triggered a huge series of aftershocks around the globe. Despite being the exception, they both struck within the intra-ocean setting.
