What are the differences between the 2004 Asian tsunami and the Japanese 2011?

The 2004 Asian tsunami was triggered by an undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean, affecting several countries in South and Southeast Asia, while the 2011 Japanese tsunami was caused by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Japan. The 2004 tsunami resulted in more widespread devastation and casualties across multiple countries, whereas the Japanese tsunami primarily impacted Japan's northeastern coastline.
