2. 70 villages vanished in the sequence of mishaps produced by an earth tremble with an epicentre in

quake gave rise to a huge tsunami causing a loss of thousands of dollars. This tectonic setting
controlled the bust behaviour of the M8.7 event.

quake produced a 43-foot tsunami locally. Initially assigned a magnitude of 8.2, the quake was revised
to 9.0 Mw and a time of about 17 minutes, in later years. A large tsunami resulted, causing devastation
and death of people around the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands. Hawaii was also smacked,

to 30 meters high. It was one of the deadliest tragedy in recorded history. Sumatra was the hardest
shake country, followed by Thailand, Sri Lanka and India
The tsunami affected more deaths than other in recorded history, although some estimates say the
death from the 2010 Haiti earthquake was larger. The tsunami was recorded nearly world-wide on tide
indicators in the Pacific Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
