2004
The deadliest tsunami in history occurred in 2004. This devastating event, known as the Indian Ocean Tsunami or Boxing Day Tsunami, was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. It caused widespread destruction across many countries bordering the Indian Ocean.
One tsunami would be the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
The term "Indian Ocean Tsunami" is used because the tsunami affected multiple countries surrounding the Indian Ocean, not just Indonesia. The impact of the tsunami was felt in countries such as Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, and others, leading to the broader geographical reference in the name.
Two significant tsunamis in recent history occurred in the Indian Ocean in 2004 and in Japan in 2011. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami resulted in over 230,000 fatalities across multiple countries. The 2011 Japan tsunami, triggered by a powerful earthquake, caused widespread destruction and over 15,000 deaths, in addition to the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
