Abstract

Tsunami of 2004, caused by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, is the most devastating tsunami in modern times, affecting 18 countries in Southeast Asia and Southern Africa, killing more than 250,000 people in a single day, and leaving more than 1.7 million homeless. Tsunami is water waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and underwater or aerial landslides. In deep water, tsunami waves have relatively small heights, but very long wavelengths. As these waves enter the shallower waters of coastal regions, their length reduces and their wave height increases dramatically. The resulting waves can cause violent impacts onto shoreline structures, and the long wavelengths may lead to extensive inundation inland.
