  • The immediate destruction is only the beginning of the damage.
  • On December 24, 2004, a massive 9.2 earthquake occurred of the islan
  • of Sumatra. It created a deadly series of tsunamis that swept Indonesia, India, Madagascar, and Ethiopia.
  • The water level becomes shallower causing the waves caused by the earthquake to compress and combine. This is what creates the massive and destructive waves that cause so much destruction.

  • Japan's most powerful earthquake since records began has struck the north-east coast, triggering a massive tsunami.
  • A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels.
  • Officials say 350 people are dead and about 500 missing, but it is feared the final death toll will be much higher.
  • The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, said scientists. Thousands of people living near the Fukushima nuclear power plant have been ordered to evacuate.
  • Measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, it struck at 1446 local time (0546 GMT) at a depth of about 24km. The tsunami rolled across the Pacific at 800km/h (500mph) - as fast as a jetliner - before hitting Hawaii and the US West Coast, but there were no reports of major damage from those regions.

    Tsunamis waves do not resemble normal waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide, and for this reason they are often referred to as tidal waves.
