Reports say that a new geological layer is being formed in the seas off the southern most part of the island located 600-700 kilometers away. According to geologists, the formation of the geological layer began 8 million years ago.
However, Geologists also noted that this geological layer has shown increased activity after an 8.2 Magnitude earthquake shook the area on April 2012. Although Sri Lanka felt a tremor there was no impact to the Island.
Director of the National Institute of Fundamental Studies Prof. C.B. Dissanayake noted that a country which is situated in the middle of a tectonic plate is not likely to be affected by earthquakes. He added that only minor tremors will be experienced in the Island.
