A 9.1-9.3 earthquake occurred in Indonesia (the third biggest earthquake ever)

About 15 to 30 min the worlds deadliest tsunami took place in Indonesia and hit thirteen other countries as well

The earthquake caused an undersea mega-thrust the caused the tsunami

Waves got as high as 100 ft

Answer 3:

The tsunami had waves up to 100 feet high

The waves of the tsunami were the speed

Several waves hit at extremely tall points only 15-20 minutes after third biggest earthquake

The tsunami was caused because of this earthquake that was measured 9.1-9.3

The Indian tectonic plate is subducting to the Burmese plate causing the ocean floor to break. There was a vertical displacement of 15-20 meters along the fault. This left a very large amount of water to be displaced. Therefore the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 occurred

This displacement of water and the ocean floor collapsing happened because the earthquake that took place 15-20 minutes before was measured over a 9.0 magnitude

The epicenter/focus was 160km off the western coast of Northern Sumatra in the Northern Hemisphere

Question 6: What Earth systems were involved in this disaster? What sphere(s) were affected?

Answer 6:

The tsunami affected the lithosphere by having the waves spread all the rocks and sand all over the land

Earthquake caused the huge waves

It effected the Atmosphere because the tsunami destroyed many things like towns, city's, trees, and buildings

When it was destroyed the trees we lost lots of oxygen

Doesn't have a HUGE affect on the atmosphere unless it breaks gas

It effected the biosphere because the tsunami killed living things, unless they were in a high place

The tsunami impacted the hydrosphere by making the water polluted
