アンダマン海に面する地域はリゾート地として知られており、津波の起こった地域では高級リゾート地などで多くの著名人の死亡が確認されている。政府は津波に対する認識が甘かったために今回の被害が生じたとして、国家気象局長を更迭し、1993年にインド洋での津波被害について警告していた元気象局長を総理府付高官として復権させた。 The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was initially documented as having a Great earthquakes, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, are associated with megathrust events in Since 1900, the only earthquakes recorded with a greater magnitude were the 1960 Other huge megathrust earthquakes occurred in 1868 (Peru, The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was unusually large in geographical and geological extent. Several near-shore establishments and numerous infrastructures such as seawalls and a 20 MW diesel-generated power plant at Bamboo Flat were extensively damaged.Results of the tsunami survey in South Andaman along Chiriyatapu, Corbyn's Cove and Wandoor beaches:Meanwhile, in the Little Andaman, tsunami waves impinged on the eastern shore of this island 25 to 30 minutes after the earthquake in a four-wave cycle of which the fourth one was most devastating with a wave height of about 10 m (33 ft). The tsunami effects on two of the islands, The greatest run-up height of the tsunami was measured at a hill between Lhoknga and Leupung, on the western coast of the northern tip of Sumatra, near Banda Aceh, and reached 51 m (167 ft).The first tsunami waves initially caused a small flood (positive wave) as it struck the Sri Lankan coastline.
Sumatra, Indonesia Earthquake and Tsunami, 26 December 2004 On 26 December 2004, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake (3.316 N, 95.854 E, depth 30 km) occurred off the coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. However, tourists were reluctant to do so for psychological reasons. The giant 2004 Sumatra earthquake ruptured the greatest fault length of any recorded earthquake, spanning a distance of 1500 km (900 miles), or longer than the state of California. The tsunami generated by the earthquake was recorded nearly world-wide and killed more people than any other tsunami in recorded history, almost 230,000 missing and presumed dead. At The tsunami run-up was only 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) in areas in the state of Tamil Nadu shielded by the island of Sri Lanka but was 4–5 m (13–16 ft) in coastal districts such as The tsunami effects varied greatly across different coastal areas according to the number of waves experienced, the inundation distance and height of waves, and the population density of the area, and topological and geographical features. The largest run-up measured was at 12.5 m (41 ft) with inundation distance of 390–1,500 m (1,280–4,920 ft) in In Sri Lanka, the civilian casualties were second only to those in Indonesia. Around 8 A.M. on December 26, 2004, an earthquake of magnitude 9.1 hit northern Sumatra in Indonesia, and then shook most of the world by causing the deadliest tsunami in human history. However, the public health risks may have been exaggerated, and therefore this may not have been the best way to allocate resources. The earthquake was so powerful that it slowed down the earth’s speed of rotation by a tiny fraction of a second.
The intensity of the 2004 earthquake on Boxing Day in Sumatra was the greatest in 40 years and killed 300,000 people. The two main occupations affected by the tsunami were fishing and tourism.While the tsunami destroyed many of the boats vital to Sri Lanka's fishing industry, it also created a demand for fibreglass reinforced plastic catamarans in boatyards of Some economists believe that damage to the affected national economies will be minor because losses in the tourism and fishing industries are a relatively small percentage of the GDP. Besides these factors, the number of lives lost was influenced by exposure to previous disasters and local disaster management capability. The first wave came within 5 minutes of the earthquake. On December 26, 2004, a large (magnitude 9.0) earthquake occurred off the western coast of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean. Lampuuk on the island of Sumatra before and after the Banda Aceh earthquake on Boxing Day, 2004 (December 26, 2004). Ghosh Roy. A few other African countries also recorded fatalities; one in Kenya, three in The tsunami caused severe damage and deaths as far as the east coast of Africa, with the furthest recorded fatality directly attributed to the tsunami at Relief agencies reported that one-third of the dead appeared to be children. More importantly, the model also shows what happens when these tsunami waves strike land, the very information that PTWC needs to issue tsunami hazard guidance for impacted coastlines. States of emergency were declared in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and the Maldives. Basir, A.K. The most affected was Prakasham District, recording 35 deaths, with maximum damage at Singraikonda.In South Andaman, based on local eyewitnesses, there were three tsunami waves. Along the west coast, the inundation was observed around Guptapara, Manjeri, Wandoor, Collinpur and Tirur regions.
The resulting tsunami is given various names, including the \"Boxing Day tsunami\". The tsunami water destroyed settlements at Hut Bay within a range of 1 km (0.62 mi) from the seashore. The color scheme is based on PTWC's warning criteria, with blue-to-green representing no hazard (less than 30 cm or ~1 ft.), yellow-to-orange indicating low hazard with a stay-off-the-beach recommendation (30 to 100 cm or ~1 to 3 ft.), light red-to-bright red indicating significant hazard requiring evacuation (1 to 3 m or ~3 to 10 ft.), and dark red indicating a severe hazard possibly requiring a second-tier evacuation (greater than 3 m or ~10 ft.).Toward the end of this simulated 48 hours of activity the wave animation will transition to the "energy map" of a mathematical surface representing the maximum rise in sea-level on the open ocean caused by the tsunami, a pattern that indicates that the kinetic energy of the tsunami was not distributed evenly across the oceans but instead forms a highly directional "beam" such that the tsunami was far more severe in the middle of the "beam" of energy than on its sides.
