	Effect of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In India, 10,136 people, according to official estimates, were killed and hundreds of thousands were rendered homeless when a tsunami triggered by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake near the Indonesian island of Sumatra hit the southern peninsular coast on 26 December 2004.
		The earthquake registered 9.0 in moment magnitude and was the biggest in four decades.
		The Indian Ministry of External Affairs, along with the Indian defence forces and Home Ministry, is coordinating relief operations to Sri Lanka, Maldives and Indonesia.

		There was nothing notable beneath the blue skies around the Indian Ocean aside from the regular rainbow highlighted by fishmongers, children on bicycles, and tourists in snorkel gear.
		After sending in their dire message to a network of 26 countries, including those that would be affected all over the Indian Ocean, the Honolulu team continued to track the waves as they sped through the ocean at the pace of a 747 jet.
		Additionally, any extremely rapid change in the ocean’s height at the shore should be cause for alarm—both water receding quickly as it is sucked back into the tsunami’s trough or water being suddenly pushed ahead of the tsunami’s wake should be interpreted as natural tsunami warnings.

		An earthquake of magnitude 8.1 occurred in the Andaman Sea at 12.9 N and 92.5 E on June 26, 1941 and a tsunami hit the east coast of India.
		A tsunami (1) was triggered by this earthquake in the Bay of Bengal.
		The ocean current is driven from the Bay of Bengal to the Arabian Sea during the North-East monsoon and from the Arabian sea to the Bay of Bengal during the South-West monsoon.

		The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) on December 26, 2004.
		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.

	Boston.com / News / Science / Deadly waves explained
		A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that are generated by a large-scale disturbance of seawater.
		The most destructive tsunamis are created by large earthquakes with an epicenter or fault line near or on the ocean floor.
		The ocean covers more than one-third of the earth's surface and is surrounded by a region with many earthquakes and volcanoes known as the ''ring of fire." Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean are much rarer -- the last big one was in the 19th century.

	SkyscraperCity - 26th December 2004, a day to remember... Indian Ocean tsunami
		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) on December 26, 2004.
		The earthquake is estimated to have resulted in an oscillation of the Earth's surface of about 20-30 cm (8 to 12 in), equivalent to the effect of the tidal forces caused by the Sun and Moon[25].
		Despite a lag of up to several hours between the earthquake and the impact of the tsunami, nearly all of the victims were taken completely by surprise; there were no tsunami warning systems in the Indian Ocean to detect tsunamis, or equally importantly, to warn the general populace living around the ocean.

		At 0059 GMT on 26 December 2004, a magnitude 9.3 earthquake ripped apart the seafloor off the coast of northwest Sumatra.
		The whole island has been tilted by the force of the earthquake, causing coral, submerged beneath the ocean for thousands of years, to be thrust out of the water on the east side; bays in the west have been drained.
		Deep under the Indian Ocean, at the epicentre of the quake, the 20m (65ft) upward thrust of the seafloor set in motion a series of geological events that were to devastate the lives of millions.

	Living the Scientific Life (The Archives): Tsunami: One Year Later, Part I
		This earthquake, known in scientific circles as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, occurred on the sea floor of the Indian Ocean at a depth of 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) below average sea level.
		As a result of this earthquake, Simeulue Island, near the southern end of the fault line, gained at least 6 feet in elevation and the Nicobar Island group, at the northern end of the fault line, were similarly thrust upward while several of these islands were broken into two or even three pieces.
		Numerous smaller earthquakes occurred within recent years (e.g., Mw = 7.2 in 2002), but the relative quiescence of seismic activity in the 40 years prior to 2004 was actually an indicator of strain accumulation and stress accumulation near the earthquake hypocenter.

	Tsunami Disaster- The Great Wave from the Indian Ocean; Earthquake, North Sumatra - Cybermed Update December 2004
		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 00:58:49 UTC (07:58:49 local time in Jakarta and Bangkok; 08:58:49 local time Malaysia).
		The devastating megathrust earthquake of December 26, 2004, occurred on the interface of the India and Burma plates and was caused by the release of stresses that develop as the India plate subducts beneath the overriding Burma plate.
		The trench is the surface expression of the plate interface between the Australia and India plates, situated to the southwest of the trench, and the Burma and Sunda plates, situated to the northeast.
