Not from the current location. The ocean floor shift had been building pressure for many years.

However, there will probably be another tsunami in the Indian Ocean eventually - there is no way of knowing when. When it does occur it will be a different tsunami from the one that occurred in 2004.

How does an earthquake cause a tsunami?

The most common underwater causes of tsunami are earthquakes and volcanoes. The event causes a large column of water to be displaced and moved out from the source. See the related question about the causes of tsunami for more detail about this question and about other causes of tsunami that may not start underwater.


How do you prevent a tsunami happening again?

To prevent a tsunami from happening again, it is important to implement early warning systems that can detect seismic activity and issue alerts quickly. Building and maintaining seawalls, barriers, and vegetation along coastlines can help reduce the impact of a tsunami. Community preparedness and education programs can also help mitigate the effects of a tsunami by educating people on evacuation procedures and safety measures.


Does a seismograph measure tsunami?

No. The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake - the point underground where it occurred. A Tsunami is an ocean wave generally caused by a submarine landslide or earthquake. The landslide or earthquake may have a Richter number associated with it, but the landslide itself need not have been caused by an earthquake. For example a slumping at the terminus of an undersea sediment delta. The Tsunami is the movement of the water caused by the volume of the submarine slump. Hence the common observation of the sea level going down, followed some time later by the sea in-rushing again.
