Interpretation of the Indonesia Tsunami

Interpretation of the Indonesia Tsunami

The Indonesia tsunami is explained by the sliding of the India tectonic plate at a distance of 1,600 km and a depth of 15 m below the Burma plate, which in turn rose above the India plate; This was as a result of the earthquake that struck the region in the wide ocean, and the rise of the Burma plate led to the rush of large quantities of water that were forcefully displaced towards the south, which in turn led to the formation of large waves called (tsunami waves), and it is important to mention that the impact of the tsunami It was lower in the north; This is because the thrust between the two plates was in the opposite direction, which reduced the speed of the waves to the north. It can be said that Indonesia is exposed to many earthquakes coming from the Indian OceanNoting that the element of surprise that characterizes these earthquakes is leading to the devastation of Indonesia, and the great loss of life; Whereas, what increases the effect of the element of surprise is the absence of an alarm system that warns residents of near coastal areas in the event of an earthquake.
