<br/><br/> "If, on the Sunday morning after Christmas [2004], you had been like some all-seeing, all-knowing deity, able to peer down through the ocean depths off the western coast of the island of Sumatra, here is what you would have seen: Two giant tectonic plates, which have been pushing against each other for millennia, suddenly shift. The left plate has been sliding under the right at the rate of a few centimeters a year, but now the top plate suddenly springs up, lifting perhaps 60 feet along a 1,000-mile ridge. Above, ocean surface hardly ripples. In planetary terms, the movement is 'utterly insignificant,' says geologist Simon Winchester, author of 'Krakatoa,' a recent best seller about a volcano that exploded off Sumatra in 1883, killing 40,000 people. 'The earth shrugged for a moment. Everything moved a little bit.'" (NEWSWEEK) This article describes the causes of the tsunami in Indonesia and discusses the aftermath.
