Indian Ocean

Most of the damage from the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake was from the tsunami it triggered rather than the earthquake itself. When the earthquake occurred it caused the seafloor to shift upwards, displacing an enormous column of water. This caused a wave to race across the ocean that came ashore in many locations as a surge of water with enough force to sweep away entire buildings.

The number of people a tsunami wave can kill depends on many factors, such as the wave's height, speed, and the population density of the area it hits. In major tsunamis, thousands of people have been killed, while smaller events may result in fewer casualties. Early warning systems and evacuation procedures can help reduce the death toll.

Seaweed typically lives in saltwater habitats like oceans and seas. While some freshwater species of algae, which may resemble seaweed, can be found in rivers, true seaweed is not commonly found in river environments.

The golden haze over the Indian Ocean is typically caused by the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere such as dust, pollution, or sea spray. This scattering effect gives the sky a golden hue during sunrise or sunset, especially in areas with high humidity.

The largest one is the country of Madagascar followed by the country of Sri Lanka

Animal and plant life in the Indian Ocean play a crucial role in maintaining the overall health of the marine ecosystem. They help to regulate the food chain, recycle nutrients, and provide habitats for other species. Some species also support local economies through fishing and tourism activities.

what caused the tsunami well i dont really know but its like a underwater earthquake which caused the water to move with the speed of 400mph what caused the tsunami well i dont really know but its like a underwater earthquake which caused the water to move with the speed of 400mph

Some of the islands which lie on the Tropic of Capricorn include Heron Island (on the Great Barrier Reef), and the islands of Fiji.

The depth of the continental slope in the Indian Ocean can vary, but on average it ranges from about 600 to 6,000 feet (180 to 1,800 meters). This steeply sloping region connects the continental shelf to the deep ocean floor of the abyssal plain.

The quickest way to travel by ship from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean is through the Suez Canal. This man-made canal in Egypt connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, providing a shortcut for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. The journey through the Suez Canal helps ships avoid the longer route around the southern tip of Africa.

Weather Disturbances are disturbances in the weather such as:

1. Typhoons

2. Hurricanes

3. Global Warming

4. Tornadoes

5. Cyclones

6. Storms

Some of this are only common in the list of Weather Disturbances, you can add some if you know one. I hope this will be a big help to LBNHS students, from Los Baños National Highschool, Laguna. Good Luck! Good for Gen. Cum. and Pilots alike.

it all depends what you mean by largest, but the largest religious structure is St PetersBbasilica in Rome and is considered to big to be a Cathedral. So, the answer may be St John the Divine in New York

The only ocean the equator does not pass through is the Arctic Ocean.

The only ocean that the equator does not pass through is the Southern Ocean. The equator runs through the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, but does not cross into the Southern Ocean, which is located around Antarctica.

The equator does not pass through the Arctic Ocean.

The Arctic Ocean is the only ocean not crossed by the equator.

There are 5 oceans in the world. They're the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.

It is difficult to breathe in deep oceans because the water pressure increases as you go deeper, making it harder for your lungs to expand and contract properly. Additionally, there is less oxygen available in deep ocean water due to lower levels of photosynthesis and mixing of surface layers with deeper waters.

The Humboldt Current is a South American cold ocean current that flows north along the western coast of the continent. It originates in the Southern Ocean and brings cold, nutrient-rich waters to the coast, supporting diverse marine life and contributing to the unique ecosystems found along the coast.

The world's oceans, from largest to smallest:

Pacific (155,557,000 km2)

Atlantic (76,762,000 km2)

Indian (68,556,000 km2)

Southern (20,327,000 km2)

Arctic (14,056,000 km2)

So the Pacific and Atlantic are larger than the Indian, but the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Southern are all bigger than the Arctic.

Singapore is bordered by the Strait of Malacca to the west and the South China Sea to the east.

The name of the mass of East African land that juts out into the Indian Ocean is the Horn of Africa.

Human beings living in the Indian Ocean region typically reside in coastal areas where they engage in activities such as fishing, trade, tourism, and marine resource exploitation. They may also live on islands within the Indian Ocean, sustaining themselves through agriculture, fishing, and tourism. Additionally, some human communities live on boats or floating houses in the Indian Ocean, known as sea gypsies or water nomads.
