What caused the tsunami?

Earthquakes happen where Earth's plates meet. Most earthquakes happen under the sea. Where the plates stick, pressure builds up and then the earth shakes.

Earthquakes Sudden movement of surface when accumulated strain along opposing sides of a fault is suddenly released. Rock stretches and snaps.

A tsunami is created when a lot of water is moved. The movement of water causes a large movement of enormous waves. The most dangerous is the elevation.

12/26/2004 Sumatra-Andaman Islands Earthquake 3rd largest earthquake of the past 100 years (M w 9.3). Generated historically large tsunamis that struck Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Africa that killed approximately 300,000 people. No effective warning of tsunami due to lack of monitoring/communication system in the Indian Ocean

The Sumatra- Andaman rupture was significant, even on the scale of the entire planet.

c/o Miaki Ishii The Sumatra- Andaman rupture was complex and distributed over more than 7 minutes.

Global Moment Release ( ) Chile (1960) Alaska (1964) Sumatra (2004) “Great” earthquake are very significant global events. …seismic Moment is proportional to fault area times fault slip

Global Moment Release ( ) Approximately half of all earthquake moment release on the planet over the past 100 years occurred in just three earthquakes (a manifestation of power law statistics)!

Physics of Water Waves Waves are the response of a liquid to departures from gravitational equilibrium. Wind waves in the deep ocean: Wavelength << water depth Tsunami waves in the deep ocean: Wavelength >> water depth Wind Waves (away from shore) Tsunamis in the deep ocean
