As well as the sideways movement between the plates, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake resulted in a rise of the seafloor by several metres, displacing an estimated 30 km 3 (7.2 cu mi) of water and triggering devastating tsunami waves.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami struck on December 26, 2004, following a large underwater earthquake of magnitude 9.1 to 9.3 off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The earthquake caused a series of huge tsunami waves that hit more than a dozen nations, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, the Maldives, Myanmar, and Somalia.

2024年10月23日 · The earthquake occurred along the Sunda megathrust, where the Indian Plate is subducting beneath the Burma Plate. The change in ocean floor caused the uplift of water above and waves that speeded up to 800 kilometers per hour and formed tsunami as tall as 30 meters in some coastal areas.

2004年12月26日 · The Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami - December 26, 2004 Maps from the PCL Map Collection: Indian Ocean Maps , Asia Maps and Africa Maps (PCL Map Collection)

The Indian Ocean tsunami was generated by a Mw 9.1 earthquake (3.295°N 95.982°E), 2004-12-26 00:58:53 UTC, off the west coast of northern Sumatra (according to the USGS). Forecast results shown below were created with the NOAA forecast method using MOST model with the tsunami source inferred from tsunameter/ DART® data.

These maps show modeled maximum wave height (top) and travel time (lower) for the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26, 2004. Although the epicenter of the earthquake that triggered the tsunami was near the northern tip of Sumatra, the sea floor shifted along an arc stretching about 1200 km to the north.

On August 27, 1883 a blast at Krakatau Volcano in the Sunda Straight of Indonesia produced a tsunami that killed about 36,000 people. The maps on this page show approximate travel times for each of these tsunamis.

2024年4月30日 · The earthquake was followed by a large Tsunami waves that stretched across a large amount of the Southern hemisphere and affected 18 countries across Southeast Asia, Southern Africa and Australia and its territories through the displacement of 30km^2 of water in the Indian Ocean.
