INDONESIAN TSUNAMI26TH DECEMBER 2004
At GMT 00.59 a magnitude 9 undersea earthquake shook the sea bed off the north west coast of Sumatra. Within hours multiple tsunamis
had swept across the Indian Ocean ravaging coastal regions and killing over 120,000 people.

Two tectonic plates, the Australian and Eurasian plates, meet just off Sumatra's south-west coast, grinding together and sending periodic seismic tremors through the region. violent rupture occurred on the sea floor along a fault about 1,000km long.

Area affected The 9.0 magnitude quake, which was the strongest in the world for at least 40 years, wreaked havoc across the whole region.
Walls of water, tens of metres high, slammed into coastal resorts thousands of miles apart. Surging seas and floods were reported as far away as east Africa.

Deadly wave All along the rupture the seafloor was shunted vertically by about 10 metres.
This movement displaced the overlying water, generating a massive tsunami, or tidal wave.
The wave then fanned out across the Indian Ocean at enormous speed.

CONCLUSIONS• The Tsunami caused in indonesia killed >300,000 people because there was no Warning System.• Source region for Tsunami extends from Banda Aceh through the Nicobar Islands.• We need a method for estimating size of great earthquakes within a time frame useful to the
Tsunami Warning System.
