The deadly earthquake that struck near Mandalay on Friday was caused by “strike-slip faulting” along the boundary of the India and Eurasia plates.

Major strike-slip faults (about 1,000 kilometers in length) are notorious generators of large magnitude earthquakes, especially when the focal depth is shallow.
