Indian Ocean Tsunami - December 26, 2004


On December 26, 2004, a massive earthquake occurred under the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Indonesia. The 9.0 magnitude quake created a series of tsunamis that caused great destruction and loss of life throughout the Indian Ocean basin, within several hours of the initial event.
Tsunami in Maldives, on December 2004, was less fearful than in other regions like Andaman and Sri Lanka. But the gigantic waves devastated the coastal areas during Tsunami in Maldives.
