And, after a second magnitude 6.4 tremor shook the area 12 minutes after the initial quake, scientists warn that the worst may be yet to come. Myanmar sits directly on top of the Sagaing Fault - a ...

As tectonic plates slip past each other, the rivers that cross fault lines change shape. The shifting ground stretches the river channels until the water breaks its courses and flows onto new paths.
