The Indian Ocean Tsunami: A Survey of the Underwater Earthquake Zone

View and learn about the underwater earthquake and tsunami of 2004. Click on the thumbnail images to see unique 3D images created from a first survey of the area after the events. (We suggest you start with the 3D image of the seafloor showing deflection of channels.) A full-size image will appear in a new window along with an explanatory caption. Navigate forward or backward through the different images using the Next and Previous buttons, respectively; or you can return to the Exhibit TOC (Table of Contents) to select a different image. A detailed overview of the geological events that occurred on the Indian Ocean floor is available in the text below.
