  • 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

  • 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
