The tsunami was caused by a magnitude 9.1 earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The earthquake triggered a series of tsunamis that struck coastal areas of more than a dozen countries, killing an estimated 230,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>The tsunami was the deadliest natural disaster in recorded history. It was also the most expensive natural disaster in history, with estimated damage of $10 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The tsunami was caused by a subduction zone earthquake. A subduction zone is a boundary where one tectonic plate is moving under another.

When the plates break, they release a large amount of energy in the form of seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth&#8217;s crust and can cause the ground to shake.<\/p>\n<p>The earthquake that caused the tsunami was the second largest earthquake ever recorded. The earthquake was so large that it caused the Earth&#8217;s axis to shift by about 3 inches.<\/p>\n<p>The tsunami waves traveled at speeds of up to 800 miles per hour. When the waves hit land, they caused widespread destruction. The waves were so powerful that they swept away entire villages and towns.
