other places were struck by the disaster. This tsunami killed over 300.000 people. Indonesia suffered the
most damage and the greatest loss of lives.
Tsunami is a Japanese word. This word means harbor wave. Tsunami is now used internationally to
refer a series of waves traveling across the ocean with extremely long wavelengths. When these waves
approach shore, the speed of the wave decreases as they begin to feel the bottom. It is at this time that the
height of the wavedrastically increases.
When the earths crust under or near the ocean suddenly rises or falls, this creates a rise or fall in the
level of the ocean. This rise or fall in sea level is the initial formation of a tsunami wave. Tsunamis can
also be created by volcanic activity and landslides occurring above or below the sea surface.
