Animation of the waves of the Indian Ocean tsunami, in the 36 hours after it occurred on 26th December 2004. A tsunami is a series of waves generated when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. In this case, it was caused by a massive earthquake on the plate boundary at the Sunda Trench, off Indonesia. The tsunami waves devastated coastal communities around the Indian Ocean, killing an estimated 230, 000 people. | |
