Crisis memo elaborated minor earthquake (10)
I believe the answer is:
microseism
'minor earthquake' is the definition.
'crisis memo elaborated' is the wordplay.
'elaborated' is an anagram indicator.
'crisis'+'memo'='crisismemo'
'crisismemo' anagrammed gives 'MICROSEISM'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
