The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on 26 December with the epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The shock had a moment magnitude of 9.1–9.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent). The undersea megathrust earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000–280,000 people in 14 countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
THIS PPT SHOWS HOW THE EARTHQUAKE WAS CAUSED AND DAMAGE DUE TO IT.
Here I have prepared a power point presentation about Tsunami.
I have collected information and pictures from different sites.
Anyone who wants to use it, please feel free to download and use it.
In this I have also covered other types of Natural disasters like Hurricane, Volcano, Storm etc..

Case study highlighting achievement and failures of the international response to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. This presentation was given during Fordham University's "International Diploma on Humanitarian Assistance".
Presentation by Dr A Qayyum, Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme, Bangladesh at the CCAFS Workshop on Institutions and Policies to Scale out Climate Smart Agriculture held between 2-5 December 2013 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
A case study on the Eyjafjallajökull Icelandic Eruption of 2010. Suitable for GCSE, AS Level, A Level Geography and beyond. Complete with stunning images.
Tsunami is a Japanese word Tsu means ‘harbour’ and nami means ‘wave’.
They are called tidal waves but they have actually nothing to do with the tides. However their appearance from shore is similar to rapidly rising or falling tides.
Tsunami is a series of wave created when water is moved very quickly.
Tsunami is gravity wave system, triggered by vertical disturbances in ocean. They are long waves sometime with hundreds of miles b/w their crests, just like the concentric waves generated by an object dropped into a pool.
First tsunami was recorded in 1480 B.C. in eastern Mediterranean, when the Minoan civilization was wiped out.
A large tsunami accompanied by the earthquake of Lisbon in 1755.
The Kutch earthquake of June 16, 1819 generated strong tsunami which submerged the coastal areas and damage to ships and country made boats of fishermen.
North and South American records have dated such
events back to 1788 for Alaska and 1562 for Chile. Records of Hawaiian tsunami go back to 1821.
Tsunami hits the Mona Passage off Puerto Rico in 1918, grand banks of Canada in 1929.
Assalam U Alikum!
In these slides, Tsunami is discussed. First, What is Tsunami then breif history of Tsunami, Characteristics of Tsunami, Terminology of Tsunami, How can you do preparations before, during and after Tsunami came.
I hope you like my slides. Stay tuned for more slides.
Jazak Allah!.
A collection of Photographs and Maps from the boxing day earthquake and tsunami. These should be used in conjunction with your module notes, the blog and your own research as part of a megaquake and tsunami case study.
Tectonics: Volcanoes - Case Studies and Picturesgeomillie
A collection of images of the wonderful and weird variety of volcanoes across the globe, most of these form part of a mini case study that you should have some sort of anecdotal evidence for use in an essay.
Some pictures highlighting the effects of the 2008 Storm, this was one of the largest low pressure systems to affect the UK since the "Great Storm" of 1987.
An overview of the key stats, and the issues behind the soon to expire protocol. There are more detailed discussions on the blog and for you to read about as part of you own research. You should also form an opinion on the effectiveness of the protocol and subsequent COP's especially the COP15 at Copenhagan and the associated Copenhagan Accord
A collection of images from the "Great Storm" that was not a hurricane of 1987. To be used in conjunction with your module notes and independant research on the storm. Note you also need to know a few stats, and a comparison to the 2007 storm event
An introductory Powerpoint to the final module, this civers the basics of the climate system, how the atmosphere is layered, the effects on all layers caused by increasing altitude, the global pattern of surface wind circulation and an introduction to ocean circulation
Climate: Climatic Change - Evidence, Cycles and The Futuregeomillie
A PowerPoint used in class to cover the key forms of evidence you need to know for the Exam. Key Questions are likely to be focused on how we can gain information of past climatic change, and how it can be used to predict future, and I would expect you to be able to comment on the usefulness of the different types. For instance, Ice cores are highly accurate and quantifiable evidence, but gaining them is expensive, and only gives a climatic record for the site at which the snow formed. However, they do provide the longest record of change.
