On 2005-06-26 Sunday, we will mark 6 months since the Asian Tsunami
It was destavating 6 months ago.
The tsunami killed well over 200,000 people
They were no tsunami warning systems, so it came by surprise
It came with a magnitude 9.0 to 9.3 earthquake, triggering a tsunami.
The total energy released by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean has been estimated as 4.3 exajoules (4.3×10^18 joules)
(4 300 000 000 000 000 000 joules)
This is equivalent to 100 gigatonnes of TNT (100 000 000 000 tonnes)
(100 000 000 000 000 kilograms)
It was so sad that the tsunami killed so many people.
