The ground in Myanmar was split and dragged in different directions during the massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit the Southeast Asian nation on March 28. The quake tore a rupture through the earth's surface stretching for more than 460 km (285 miles), around twice the distance expected from a quake of this magnitude, according to scientists.
The quake has killed more than 3,700 people, flattened communities and crippled infrastructure in the impoverished nation.
A month after the quake hit, nearly 200,000 people remain displaced and living outdoors, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), even as parts of central Myanmar are jolted almost daily by aftershocks.
The speed of the massive rupture may have also played a role in the devastation. Scientists believe this was a "supershear" earthquake, a rare event where the rupture in the ground moved faster than the seismic waves produced.
