On December 26, 2004 there was a terrible disaster. Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and other places were struck by the disaster. This tsunami killed over 300.000 people. Indonesia suffered the most damage and the greatest loss of lives.

“Tsunami” is a Japanese word. This word means “harbor wave”. Tsunami is now used internationally to refer a series of waves traveling across the ocean with extremely long wavelengths. When these waves approach shore, the speed of the wave decreases as they begin to feel the bottom. It is at this time that the height of the wavedrastically increases.

When the earth’s crust under or near the ocean suddenly rises or falls, this creates a rise or fall in the level of the ocean. This rise or fall in sea level is the initial formation of a tsunami wave. Tsunamis can also be created by volcanic activity and landslides occurring above or below the sea surface.
