For one thing; it did not just hit Thailand; there were catastrophic impacts in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India as well. There were a few causes for the high death toll. First, the tsunami struck many coastal areas with dense populations, which put millions of people in danger. Second There was not tsunami warning system for the Indian ocean. As a result, all but the farthest countries from the starting point never received a warning until it was too late. Third, most of the people in the danger zone did not know the waring signs of a tsunami. When the water receded, as it often does before a tsunami, thousands walked out onto the newly exposed ground rather than running for high ground as they should have.
What else can I help you with?
How often do tsunamis occur in Thailand?
On average, two tsunamis occur per year. Approximately every 15 years a destructive, ocean-wide tsunami occurs. Tsunami's occur when an earthquake causes a significant vertical deformation of the seafloor.
Which countries tsunami are occur?
A tsunami can occur in any country with a coastline. The vast majority, if not all, occur in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Earthquakes on the Ring of Fire is typically the cause of most of them.
Which countries have been most affected by tsunamis in the last 100 years?
Some of the countries that have been most affected by tsunamis in the last 100 years include Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and Thailand. These countries are located in regions with high seismic activity and are prone to tsunamis due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.
Do most tsunamis probably form near plate boundaries or far from them?
Most tsunamis are tirggered by earthquaes and so usually occur at plate boundaries.
Where are tsunamis most likely to occur?
Tsunamis are most likely to occur along areas of high tectonic activity, which is the trigger of Tsunamis in the first place. Areas of high tectonic activity are near the edges of plates, like the Pacific-North American plate and the Indian plate.
In what ocean did the Thailand tsunami occur?
The Tsunamis that struck Thailand and other countries in 2004 was in the Indian Ocean.

Do tsunamis occur regularly in Thailand?
No. The only one in newer time is the one that occurred on Dec. 26, 2004.

Do tsunamis occur in summer?
Tsunamis can occur in any season. They are not a seasonal event.

Where do you find tsunamis the most?
Tsunamis are most commonly found in the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, which is an area known for its tectonic activity. This region includes the coasts of countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the west coast of the United States. Areas near subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide, are particularly prone to generating tsunamis.
Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
Do tsunamis occur in winter?
no
