A terrifying example of the sea’s power saw 125,000 people die in 12 different countries. The destruction(破坏) was caused when a very big sent tsunamis smashing into Indian Ocean coastlines.

Communities in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia and East Africa have been by the huge waves. Whole towns were simply swept aside by the power of the water. Cars, trains and buildings could not , let alone the people who stood .

The earthquake 9.0 on the Richter scale(里氏震级) and occurred the coast of Indonesia. It was as the fifth strongest since 1900. Scientists said the quake was as as a million of the atomic bombs that were onto Japan during World War Ⅱ.

Tsunami is Japanese for “harbor wave”. They are usually caused by a sudden or fall of part of the Earth’s crust(地壳) under the ocean. Tsunamis often happen in oceans and they are most in the Pacific.

When the ocean is deep, tsunamis can travel unnoticed speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour.

The wave may only be a few meters high in the ocean. when it is near the shore and reaches shallow (浅) water, the wave very quickly in height. Witnesses(目击者) in some areas of Indonesia reported seeing up to 10-metre high waves crash into the shore.
