		This earthquake was also reported to be the longest duration of faulting ever observed, lasting between 500 and 600 seconds (8.3 to 10 minutes), and it was large enough that it caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as half an inch, or over a centimetre.
		The deadliest earthquakes since 1900 were the Tangshan, China earthquake of 1976, in which at least 255,000 were killed; the earthquake of 1927 in Xining, Qinghai, China (200,000); the Great Kanto earthquake which struck Tokyo in 1923 (143,000); and the Gansu, China, earthquake of 1920 (200,000).

		The 2004 earthquake and tsunami seem to be the worst natural disaster since either the 1976 Tangshan earthquake or the 1970 Bhola cyclone, or could conceivably exceed both of these.

		Each of these megathrust earthquakes also spawned tsunamis (in the Pacific Ocean), but the death toll from these was significantly lower—a few thousand for the worst one — probably because of the lower population density along the coasts near affected areas and the much greater distances to more populated coasts.
		The shaking of the seabed by the earthquake displaced massive volumes of water, resulting in tsunamis that struck the coasts of the Indian Ocean; the deadliest tsunamis by far in all of recorded history.
		The 2004 earthquake and tsunamis seems to be the worst natural disaster since the 1970 Bhola cyclone (Bangladesh), estimated to have killed 500,000.

		The undersea 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) on December 26, 2004, generating tsunamis that were among the deadliest disasters in modern history.
		Originating in the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, the tsunamis devastated the shores of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, and other countries with waves of up to 15 m (50 feet) high, even reaching Somalia on the east coast of Africa, 4,500 km (2,800 miles) west of the epicenter.

		The 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake of moment magnitude 9.0 that struck the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia on December 26, 2004 at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time in Jakarta and Bangkok).
		It was the largest earthquake on Earth since the 9.2-magnitude Good Friday Earthquake which struck Alaska on March 27, 1964, and the fourth largest since 1900 (tied with a 1952 earthquake of 9.0 magnitude in Kamchatka).
		Thus Indian Ocean tsunamis are rare; the last major tsunami near Sumatra, on the Indian Ocean side and western end of Indonesia, was caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.

		The recent Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea earthquake off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, that occurred on December 26, 2004.
		The Indian Ocean is bordered by southern Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, Africa, the Malay Peninsula, the Sunda Islands, Australia, and by the Southern Ocean.
		The physical environment of the Indian Ocean is surrounded by plate boundaries and lined by part of the ring of fire which is covered with active volcanoes and a high source of earthquakes.

		The last tsunami near Sumatra, on the Indian Ocean side and western end of Indonesia, was caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.
		So the death toll of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake may be particularly high since this is the first large Indian Ocean tsunami to strike land in 100 years, leaving the affected countries unprepared and the people unable to recognise the telltale signs of an approaching tsunami.
		Initial reports state that the residents were warned by island folklore recounting a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 1907 and fled en masse to inland hills after the initial shaking and before the tsunami struck.

	Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami
		Common ocean waves are a kind of surface waves called Rayleigh waves that are confined to the surface layer of the sea and tend to have wavelengths on the order of tens of meters and periods of tens of seconds.
		The massive earthquake (Magnitude 9) centred on Aceh, NW Sumatra, occurred above a several thousand kilometer-long subduction zone in which the floor of the Indian Ocean is advancing northwards at around 7 cm per year and being forced beneath the Southeast Asia continental plate.
		The resulting large-scale displacement of the ocean floor, along a huge length of the Java-Sumatra-Burma subduction zone, triggered the massive tsunami that devastated vast swathes of coastline rimming the northern Indian Ocean.

		The multiple tsunamis struck and ravaged coastal regions all over the Indian Ocean, devastating regions including the Indonesian province of Aceh, the coast of Sri Lanka, coastal areas of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the resort island of Phuket, Thailand, and even as far away as Somalia, 4,100?km (2,500?mi) west of the epicenter.
		The possible connection between these two earthquakes has been addressed by seismologists, saying that the former one might be the catalyst to the Indian Ocean earthquake, both happened on their respective sides of Indo-Australian tectonic plate [5].
		The death toll may be particularly high due to the fact that this is the first time in over 100 years that a tsunami of the Indian Ocean has struck land, leaving the affected countries unprepared and the people unable to recognise the telltale signs of an impending tsunami.

	2004 Tsunami Information
		The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, was a great undersea earthquake that occurred at 7:58:53 local time with an epicenter off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
		The earthquake triggered a series of devastating tsunamis that spread throughout the Indian Ocean, killing large numbers of people and inundating coastal communities across South and Southeast Asia, including parts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
		This earthquake was also reported to be the longest duration of faulting ever observed, lasting between 500 and 600 seconds, and it was large enough that it caused the entire planet to vibrate at least half an inch, or over a centimetre.
