Question
Why was the Tsunami of December 26, 2004 very devastating?
✓

Answer

  • The Tsunami that ravaged the South and South-east Asian coasts in December 2004 was the most devastating Tsunami in the last several hundred years.
  • The large damage caused to life and property was primarily a result of the following:
  • lack of monitoring,
  • the early warning systems, and
  • lack of knowledge among the coast dwellers of the Indian ocean.
  • The first indication that Tsunami is approaching was the rapid withdrawal of water from the coastal region.
  • It was followed by destructive wave.
  • When this happened on the coast, instead of people going to high ground, they started assembling at the coast to view the miracle.
  • It resulted in a large casualty of curious onlookers when the gigantic wave-tsunami struck.
