| 摘要: | 摘要： Stratigraphic records from west coast of South Andaman Island revealed evidence of three historical earthquakes and associated transoceanic tsunamis during past 1000yrs, in addition to the Mw 9.3 tsunamigenic earthquake of 26 December, 2004. Our finding suggests that along with Sumatran arc segment the Andaman–Arakan segment is also capable of generating mega-subduction zone earthquakes and transoceanic tsunamis. To study the near sub-surface stratigraphic succession we excavated shallow trenches and obtained geoslices from two sites around Collinpur (sites 1 and 2). The exposed succession comprised 11 lithounits (Unit a — youngest and k — oldest) of alternating sequence of coarser units overlain by peaty soils and some of these are indicative of deposition during paleo-tsunami events. Event I that predated AD 800, and is marked by a 35–40cm thick deposit of fine gravel to coarse sands along with broken shell fragments (Unit k). Event II dated around AD 660–800, is represented by 20–25cm thick coarse sand and broken shell fragments (Unit i). Based on stratigraphic evidences of land-level changes, this event is attributed to a near source rupture along Andaman–Arakan segment, accompanied by a transoceanic tsunami. Event III, occurred around AD 1120–1300, is marked by a 50cm thick sand deposit (Unit g). The 2004 tsunami resulted in deposition of 15cm thick medium to coarse sand at the same location. We infer that the 2004 tsunami and Event III resulted in different styles of sedimentation at the same site. Four events at Collinpur along with the record of a subsidence event of AD 1679 from the east coast of Andaman, close-to, Port Blair (Malik et al., 2011), suggest that mega-subduction zone earthquakes and associated tsunamis recur at an interval of 300–500 years at variable locations along the Sumatra–Andaman subduction zone. •Studies two Sites 1 and 2 near Collinpur along the west coast in Constance Bay of the South Andaman Islands•Occurrence of at least 4 paleo-earthquake and associated transoceanic tsunami have been identified from shallow stratigraphic record•Event I pre-dates AD 800; Event II occurred around AD 660–880; Event III occurred during AD 1120–1300, and Event-IV was 2004 Sumatra Andaman earthquake.•Recurrence of 300–500 years
