Collission or convergent boundaries. Where plates collide. Plate edges may be either oceanic crust or continental crust. So when plates collide, we have only three possibilities: oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, or continental-continental collisions. If oceanic crust collide with continental crust, the denser oceanic crust is subducted under the less dense continental crust (as at the Ring of Fire). If continental crust collide with continental crust they push each other up in a mountain range (like the Himalayas).

FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. DISASTER. It strikes anytime, anywhere. It takes many forms -- a hurricane, an earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a fire or a hazardous spill, an act of nature or an act of terrorism. It builds over days or weeks, or hits suddenly, without warning. Every year, millions of Americans face disaster, and its terrifying consequences. On March 1, 2003, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

It's a tsunami caused by a huge landslip - not an earthquake. A good site.

One of the emerging lessons of the earthquake-tsunami disaster is that mangroves and coral reefs are vital barriers that can prevent or at least soften the damage caused by tsunamis and high tidal waves.
