What is a tsunami?
• A tsunami (pronounced tsoo-nah-mee) is a series of waves caused by a sudden huge vertical displacement of water.
• Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and even the impact of cosmic bodies, such as meteorites, can generate tsunamis.
• Tsunamis can savagely attack coastlines, causing devastating property damage and loss of life.

Origin of the word – “tsunami”
• Tsunami is a Japanese word with the English translation, "harbor wave."
• Represented by two characters, the top character, "tsu," means harbor, while the bottom character, "nami," means "wave."

Countries Affected by the 2004 Indian Earthquake/Tsumani
Southeast Asia and beyond
• Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, the Maldives, Somalia, Myanmar, Malaysia
• Many other countries, especially Australia and those in Europe, had large numbers of citizens traveling in the region on holiday.

For millions of years the India tectonic plate has drifted and moved in a north/northeast direction, colliding with the Eurasian tectonic plate and forming the Himalayan mountains.
As a result of such migration and collision with both the Eurasian and the Australian tectonic plates, the Indian plate's eastern boundary is a diffuse zone of seismicity and deformation, characterized by extensive faulting and numerous earthquakes.

A Snapshot of the Dec 26, 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake
• The earthquake (magnitude of 9.0) generated a tsunami that was among the deadliest disasters in modern history.
• Estimated energy equal to 23,000 atomic bombs!!!(according to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
• In 1964, there was a Good Friday Earthquake off Alaska. (9.2 magnitude)
• Tied for fourth largest earthquake since 1900.

Waves vs Tsunami
http://www.ess.washington.edu/tsunami/images/tsulg.jpg
Wind waves10 seconds between wavesWavelength = 150 meters
waves move in circular motion
Tsunami1 hour between waves
moves 500-1000 km per hour then suddenly slows down to 10
km/hr with a moving wall of water 10 to 30 meters high near land!
Tidal Waves = 12 hours between waves, caused by gravity from the moon and the sun
