more than 5 m.. others believe the wave came more than 10m high
Yes. Banda Ache was almost completely destroyed by the 2004 tsunami.
The Banda Aceh Tsunami, which struck on December 26, 2004, resulted in an estimated death toll of around 130,000 to 170,000 people in Banda Aceh and surrounding regions in Indonesia. The tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.
The tsunami that hit Banda Aceh in 2004 reached heights of up to 30 meters (98 feet) in some areas. It was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, resulting in widespread devastation and loss of life in the region.
A earthquake beneath the sea happened right next to Banda Aceh, this triggered a Tsunami. Banda Aceh was next to it so it got hit the worst. The waves were up to 30 metres high! You know the Tsunami in Japan? This wave was WAY bigger that one! How the Earthquake happened: There are these things underneath the ground that are called 'Plates' These plates are right next to each other. Because two plates got pushed together the pressure from that caused one to flip up (Put hands together so your middle fingers are touching one another and then push them together as hard as you can, eventually one of your hands/fingers will move upwards from all the pressure) I hope this helped you :)
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, was almost destroyed by the 1755 tsunami.
