	The Indian Ocean tsunami and what it tells us about tsunamis in general - January 2005
		For most of 2004's victims, there was little or no warning of the waves, either because there was no time or because there is no coordinating tsunami warning system for the Indian Ocean,.
		In the middle of the ocean, a tsunami might also be very shallow, perhaps a metre or less in height—you'd never notice it among all the other, taller swells unless you had a sea-level gauge to tell you it was passing by.
		Earthquakes and tsunamis are simply the result of this humungous planet cracking and popping as it goes about its business, as it has for billions of years, and will for billions more.

	2004 Indian Ocean earthquake at AllExperts
		The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) December 26 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
		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 deadliest natural disaster since either the 1976 Tangshan earthquake or the 1970 Bhola cyclone, or could conceivably exceed both of these.

		Humanitarian Response to the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake
		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.

	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.

		But when choosing charities to which you're going to donate money, be aware that the efficiency ratings assigned to charities by watchdog groups can be misleading.
		For example, Charity A may dedicate 95% of received donations to direct material aid and only 5% to administration and fundraising, which is supposedly a good efficiency rating.

		The record makes Germany, with an additional government pledge of 500 million euros in aid, one of the most generous donors to helping Indian Ocean countries overcome last month's catastrophic earthquake and floods.
		The chancellor said the generosity was in part perhaps because the December 26 earthquake off Indonesia and the resulting tidal waves -- which have killed more than 168,000 people across 11 countries -- evoked memories among older Germans of World War II.
		In addition, he said the record was because Germans "empathized" with the Asians, the majority of them poor and many of them children, affected by the disaster.
