		The Thai government reports 5,246 [1] confirmed deaths, 8,457 [2] injuries and 4,499 [3] missing after the country was hit by a tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26, 2004.
		A further problem is the current public aversion in Thailand to eating locally caught fish, for fear that the fish have fed on human dead bodies which were swept out to sea by the tsunami.
		Thailand is holding legislative elections on 6 February, and the tsunami disaster has been increasingly drawn into the election campaign.

		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.

		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.
		The earthquake itself (apart from the tsunamis) was felt as far away as Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore and the Maldives.
		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.

		In the case of the Indian Ocean tsunami, many lives could have been saved if an early warning system had existed, especially given the time difference between the earthquake and the impact of the tsunami waves on many land areas.
		Thailand is a member of the Pacific warning system but all of its ocean buoys, which relay information from wave sensors on the ocean floor, are on its east (Pacific) coast.
		The system would require the technical capacity to detect earthquakes and tsunamis, and communicate the information to designated national centres; national and regional crisis preparedness capacity, including the capacity to receive and communicate warnings rapidly; and the establishment of coordination and cooperation mechanisms among countries and with the international community.

	Indian Ocean earthquake data suggest disaster warnings too conservative
		The December earthquake and tsunami that killed approximately 300,000 people in the Indian Ocean region was so powerful that no point on Earth went undisturbed, pointing to the need for more active warnings about the consequences of future events, according to University of Colorado at Boulder seismologist Roger Bilham.
		Two years ago, Bilham published a study of an 1881 earthquake in the same region and predicted that a similar event could occur sometime between 2004 and 2054.
		"This earthquake happened at the worst possible time — on a very popular holiday when many people were at the beach instead of at work or in school, and at high tide in India, which increased the tsunami run-up there by one meter," Bilham said.

		The Socialist Worker states that “natural disasters, such as violent storms, earthquakes and tsunami may have natural causes, but the effects are never just the results of natural accidents.” One of the effects of this specific tsunami is the rate of prostitution.
		The tsunami that affected the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean had a dramatic effect on certain places, which we need to consider when we look at such a disaster.
		The floor of the Indian Ocean moved dramatically on December 26th, 2004, and therefore more earthquakes are likely to occur in the next few years.

		They are scientifically described as a series of very long wavelength ocean waves caused by the sudden displacement of water by earthquakes, landslides, or submarine slumps and are mostly caused by earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 or greater.
		The earthquake of June 26, 1941 is among the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
		he earthquake that struck northwest of Sumatra, Indonesia, at dawn yesterday was a perfect wave-making machine, and the lack of a tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean essentially guaranteed the devastation that swept coastal communities around southern Asia, experts said.

	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.
