 The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by an earthquake 
 that is thought to have had the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic 
 bombs. The epicenter of the 9.0 magnitude quake was located in the Indian 
 Ocean near the west coast of Sumatra. 
  
 The rupture was more than 600 miles long, displacing the sea floor by 10 
 yards horizontally and several yards vertically. As a result, trillions of 
 tons of rock moved, causing the largest magnitude earthquake in 40 years.[5 
 Within hours of the earthquake, killer waves radiating from the epicenter 
 slammed into the coastlines of 11 countries, damaging countries from east 
 Africa to Thailand.
