What were the primary and secondary effects of the boxing day tsunami in 2004?

Answer 1

Primary effects :

- Death from the flooding

- Buildings destroyed

- Farms and agriculture in the land is wiped out

- Houses are destroyed

- Diseases such as cholera are spread through the water from the floods

Secondary effects :

- Death from diseases in the flood water

- Homelessness leads to death from no shelter

- No farms = death from starvation , and also poverty in many areas, even ones not affected by the flooding

- Companies and business's suffer

- Major strain on the economy from having to spend millions to clear up and rebuild etc.

Those are the only ones i can think of at the moment, but they should be enough.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, the primary effect of the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 was massive destruction along the Coastlines of countries like Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. The secondary effects included widespread displacement of people, disease outbreaks due to contaminated water sources, and long-term economic impacts on the affected regions. It was like a real-life disaster movie, but without the Hollywood budget.
