On December 26, 2004, an earthquake occurred undersea off Indonesia at about 9 A.M. local time. The epicenter was in the Indian Ocean about 200 kilometers from the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, at 3°N, 96°E. The earthquake was caused by subduction. It triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses that border the Indian Ocean. Scientists estimate that the tsunamis killed more than 225,000 people in eleven countries. Coastal communities were covered with waves up to 30 meters (100 feet) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand were hardest hit. With a magnitude of between 9.1 and 9.3, it is the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. This earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimeter (0.4 inch) and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska. In deep ocean water, tsunami waves form only a small hump, barely noticeable and harmless. These waves generally travel at a very high speed of 500 to 1000 kilometers per hour (310 to 620 miles per hour). In shallow water near coastlines, tsunamis slow and form large destructive waves. Scientists investigating the damage in the city of Aceh found evidence that the wave reached a height of 24 meters (80 feet) when coming ashore along large stretches of the coastline, rising to 30 meters (100 feet) in some inland areas. The worldwide community donated more than $7 billion (2004 U.S. dollars) in humanitarian aid. Name two common causes of death other than tsunamis for people who experience major earthquakes. 7th Edition•ISBN: 9780323527361Julie S Snyder, Mariann M Harding2,512 solutions
