Fig. 19.2 Vertical deformation contour map of Banyak islands after the 2004 and 2005 earth-
quakes. The zero value (0) line indicates the uplift while the lines on the right subsidence (Briggs
et al. 2006 ). The saddle shape uplift in Simeulue island shown on the right meant that mangroves
on NE and NW coast where lifted entirely out of the intertidal zone, while mangroves in the
north central bay (Telum Dalam) largely survived as they were not displaced far from the original
intertidal position (Source: Briggs et al. 2006 )
