Why did the Tsunamis happen in 2011 and 2004?
The 2004 and 2011 tsunamis were the result of something called megathrust earthquakes. Off the coasts of Sumatra and Japan, where the tsunamis originated, there are subduction zones, places where one tectonic plate pushes into and slides under another. For the 2004 tsunami it was the Indian Plate sliding under the Eurasian Plate. For the 2011 tsunami it was the Pacific Plate sliding under the Okhotsk Plate. As this happens the plates become snagged on one another and distort under the force of it, building up tension over the course of a few hundred years. Eventually the plates snap back into place, triggering a major earthquake. This results in part of one plate being thrust upward, displacing an enormous column of water and creating a tsunami.
