/ THE INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI  INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI / 2004 The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was due to an earthquake of 9.0 moment magnitude. Singapore, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Maldives felt the earthquake tremors. Studies have shown that previous great earthquakes and this recent one is due to megathrust motion in the subduction zones. There were many aftershocks felt at the Andaman Islands, the Nicobar Islands and near the region of the original epicentre. Some observers noticed that a tsunami as far as Struisbaai in South Africa where a high tide as high as 1.5 m surged on shore. That is 16 hours after the earthquake and South Africa is very far!! From this earthquake and tsunami, the government has started to install a proper warning system to detect any oceanic earthquake that could trigger another tsunami. 8:51 AM ! |
