Waves of Death

An earthquake usually kills people near its center by destroying buildings on land. However, the Indian Ocean earthquake in 2004 was different. It caused huge waves, which killed over 200,000 people in fourteen countries.

Under the sea west of Indonesia, two layers of the seabed which are thousands of kilometers long, known as “plates,” meet. The western plate is under the other. The plates have stuck together for long periods. When they suddenly move quickly, an earthquake happens. In 2004, the western one pushed the other one roughly, causing a powerful earthquake under the sea. The water then split into huge waves, which were known as tsunamis.

The tsunamis traveled in opposite directions from the earthquake’s center and increased in height as they moved. To the east, a tsunami hit the coast of Indonesia a few minutes later, and in two hours some struck the beaches of Malaysia, Thailand, and other countries. To the west, a tsunami traveled in a few hours across the Indian Ocean to India and Sri Lanka, and later some even reached some African countries.

These waves of death caused one of the worst natural disasters in human history. Thousands of people died because they didn’t receive any warning of the tsunamis. Nowadays, many countries understand it is essential to warn their people about tsunamis when there is a major earthquake under the ocean. The government has to take the responsibility and protect its people.

[文章中譯] 死神巨浪     地震摧毀陸上建築，通常會在震央附近造成死傷。但2004年的印度洋大地震不一樣。它引發海嘯，在14個國家奪走逾20萬條人命。     在印尼西側海底，長達數千公里的兩層海床，也稱作「板塊」，連接在一起。西邊的板塊在另一塊下面。兩個板塊長期接壤。當他們突然快速移動時，就會發生地震。2004年，西邊板塊大力推擠另一個板塊，造成海底強烈地震。海面於是掀起巨浪，也就是海嘯。         海嘯由震央向外擴散，移動之際高度增加。向東，海嘯才幾分鐘就抵達印尼海岸，兩小時後襲擊馬來西亞、泰國和其他國家海灘。向西，海嘯花數小時穿越印度洋推進至印度和斯里蘭卡，稍後甚至抵達部分非洲國家。                    一波波巨浪造成人類有史以來傷亡最慘重的天然災害之一。成千上萬的人因為沒收到任何海嘯預警而喪生。時至今日，許多國家了解到，當海底有強烈地震，有必要警告國民可能發生海嘯。政府必須扛起責任，保護其人民。
