An undersea earthquake off the coast of Indonesia in 2004 triggered a devastating tsunami across the Indian Ocean. The earthquake, caused by tectonic plate subduction, generated a massive displacement of water that produced 30-foot high waves. Over 250,000 people across 14 countries were killed, with over 130,000 deaths in Indonesia alone. The tsunami destroyed coastal infrastructure and displaced millions of people, while secondary impacts included disease outbreaks and loss of livelihoods. Major humanitarian aid and long-term reconstruction efforts were required.
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history. An undersea earthquake near Sumatra triggered a series of devastating tsunamis that impacted coastal areas around the Indian Ocean. Over 230,000 people were killed in multiple countries, with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand hit especially hard. The tsunami caused widespread damage through the immense force of the waves and carried debris that destroyed homes, ports, roads, and fishing vessels. International aid efforts mobilized over $14 billion for relief and recovery in the affected regions.

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake generated a tsunami that caused widespread damage in coastal areas of South and Southeast Asia. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra, displacing the ocean floor up to 20 meters and triggering a tsunami. Water receded from coastal areas before waves as high as 800 km/h rushed back inland, submerging islands and washing away infrastructure. India's Andaman and Nicobar islands were heavily impacted, with the Indira Point completely submerged. The tsunami caused massive destruction and loss of life across affected regions.
A tsunami is a giant wave caused by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Tsunamis are often mislabeled as tidal waves but are actually unrelated to tides. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 200,000 people was caused by a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra that shifted tectonic plates and displaced rock, generating huge waves that destroyed communities across East Africa and Southeast Asia within hours.
The document provides information on major disasters that have occurred in India between 1980-2005 including floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, and other events. It also summarizes major droughts and famines that have impacted India throughout history. Key developments in disaster management in India are outlined including the establishment of organizations to help coordinate relief efforts. The evolution of the study of natural disasters from a phase of awareness under British colonial rule to current recognition of the issues is described.
Tsunami are powerful waves created by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace large volumes of water. They can reach heights over 30 meters and speeds over 700 km/hr, destroying everything in their path. The devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 118,000 people across several countries, displaced millions, and caused widespread damage to infrastructure and the environment. Relief efforts provided temporary housing, food, water and medical aid to victims, but recovery is a long process and many remain in need of support years later.
The document discusses various natural disasters that have impacted India between 1997 and 2010, including earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis, floods, landslides, and storms. It provides details on specific natural disasters such as the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries, and the 2005 Kashmir earthquake that killed 75,000 people in Pakistan and India. The conclusion emphasizes that while natural disasters are inevitable, vulnerability can be reduced through effective disaster management and public education.
This document provides information about disaster management. It begins by defining a disaster and describing the origins of the term. It then outlines different types of natural and man-made disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, cyclones, floods, droughts, and more. The disaster management cycle of pre-disaster, during, and post-disaster phases is also explained. Specific examples of India's vulnerability to different types of disasters are given. The document concludes by discussing potential future disasters and emphasizing the importance of disaster preparedness.
This document discusses tsunamis, which are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. Tsunamis can cause massive damage and loss of life by destroying homes and infrastructure. While impossible to prevent, their effects can be minimized through preparation measures like building in safe areas, establishing evacuation routes, and early warning systems. The document outlines dos and don'ts for before, during, and after a tsunami and emphasizes the importance of quickly evacuating coastal areas if a tsunami is detected or warned.
An earthquake results from the release of stress between tectonic plates underneath the earth's surface. The earth's crust is divided into major and minor tectonic plates that move slowly over time. When the plates shift violently, it causes shaking at the earth's surface known as an earthquake. During an earthquake, it is important to take cover under sturdy furniture and hold on until the shaking stops if indoors. If outside, move away from buildings, trees, power lines, and other hazards. After an earthquake, assess the area for damage and injuries but avoid damaged structures. The government of India has established policies around earthquake preparedness, response, and management to increase disaster resilience.
A disaster is defined as a natural or manmade event that results in widespread human and economic loss. Natural disasters can be atmospheric, terrestrial, aquatic, or biological in origin. India is divided into five earthquake risk zones based on over 1200 earthquakes that have occurred. Mitigation efforts include establishing monitoring centers, preparing vulnerability maps, discouraging high-rise construction, and using earthquake resistant designs. The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake triggered a tsunami that was the 6th deadliest natural disaster. The National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program was established to protect people and reduce losses. Other hazards addressed include cyclones, floods, droughts, landslides and avalanches. The district collector has overall responsibility for disaster management in their
This document provides an introduction to floods, including their definition, types, causes, and impacts. It discusses areal floods, flash floods, river floods, coastal floods, urban floods, and catastrophic floods. The major causes of floods are described as heavy rainfall, siltation of river beds, blockages in drains, landslides, and dam/reservoir construction. The document then focuses on floods in India, outlining major flood-prone areas and state-level vulnerability trends. Several significant flood events across India are highlighted, including the 1987 Bihar floods, 2005 Gujarat floods, 2005 Maharashtra floods, 2012 Assam floods, 2013 Uttarakhand floods, and 2014 Jammu & Kashmir
Tsunami is a Japanese word Tsu means ‘harbour’ and nami means ‘wave’.
They are called tidal waves but they have actually nothing to do with the tides. However their appearance from shore is similar to rapidly rising or falling tides.
Tsunami is a series of wave created when water is moved very quickly.
Tsunami is gravity wave system, triggered by vertical disturbances in ocean. They are long waves sometime with hundreds of miles b/w their crests, just like the concentric waves generated by an object dropped into a pool.

An undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia triggered a devastating tsunami on December 26, 2004 that impacted 14 countries around the Indian Ocean. The earthquake was the third largest ever recorded and triggered tsunamis with waves as high as 12 meters that killed over 230,000 people. Indonesia was the worst hit country with over 170,000 deaths. The tsunami caused widespread damage to infrastructure, loss of livelihoods from fishing and tourism, and major environmental impacts from saltwater contamination. International humanitarian aid exceeded $14 billion to help provide relief and recovery efforts for the over 1.7 million people displaced.
The document summarizes multiple natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods. It provides details about two specific tsunamis - the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami caused by a 9.3 magnitude earthquake that killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries, and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan with a tsunami reaching heights of 30 meters. The document also discusses the impacts of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster following the Japanese tsunami, including explosions at reactors and the evacuation of over 180,000 people from the area.
The document summarizes a project on the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It defines tsunamis as large ocean waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. The 2004 tsunami was caused by a 9.1-9.3 magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean. It killed over 227,000 people across 14 countries. The impacts included massive loss of life, property damage estimated at $10 billion, and environmental threats. The response involved emergency assistance and long-term recovery efforts like temporary housing, rebuilding infrastructure, and counseling. Governments and communities must take steps to reduce risks and prepare for future tsunamis.
1. A massive 9.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia on December 26, 2004, triggering a devastating tsunami across the Indian Ocean.
2. The tsunami waves reached heights of over 30 meters in some areas of Indonesia and over 10 meters in many other places. Over 230,000 people were killed or went missing across 14 countries.
3. The tsunami caused widespread damage through high coastal inundation and strong currents. Entire towns were destroyed and critical infrastructure like roads, hospitals, and schools were severely damaged in the hardest hit areas of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on 26 December with the epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The shock had a moment magnitude of 9.1–9.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent). The undersea megathrust earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000–280,000 people in 14 countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
THIS PPT SHOWS HOW THE EARTHQUAKE WAS CAUSED AND DAMAGE DUE TO IT.
A 9.2 magnitude earthquake triggered a massive tsunami on December 26, 2004 in the Indian Ocean. The tsunami waves traveled across the ocean at speeds up to 800 km/hr, devastating coastal areas in 14 countries across Asia when they came ashore. Over 275,000 people lost their lives in one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history, affecting over 2 continents. The earthquake was caused by shifting of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates under the Indian Ocean.
Floods are common natural disasters that occur due to heavy rainfall overflowing rivers and streams. Flash floods occur in mountainous areas due to cloudbursts or damming and drain quickly causing damage. States like Assam, Bihar and parts of Uttar Pradesh in India are prone to floods in the rainy season. Floods damage property, spread disease, cause soil erosion and destroy wildlife habitat. Preventive measures include land use planning, building barriers, and using technology for relief and early warning.
The document discusses floods, their causes, effects, and management. It notes that floods are among the most common and destructive natural hazards. The main causes of flooding include prolonged rainfall, snowmelt, volcanic eruptions, storms, dam failures, and development in floodplains. Floods can damage infrastructure and agriculture, spread disease, and cause loss of life. Management strategies aim to modify floods, susceptibility, or loss burden through structural measures like dams or non-structural measures like warning systems and zoning. India's major flood-prone states are Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam. The devastating 2008 Kosi flood in Bihar displaced millions and caused widespread damage costing over $500 million.
Tsunami are large sea waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides under the sea. They are difficult to detect in deep water due to their extremely long wavelengths. When they reach shore, they can cause devastating damage through their immense force and volume of water. Countermeasures include maintaining tsunami detection equipment, educating people on evacuation procedures, constructing seawalls, and being especially alert after strong earthquakes.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami caused widespread devastation across multiple countries. A magnitude 9.1-9.3 earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, generating a tsunami. Over 227,000 people were killed across several countries. Key impacts included massive loss of life in Indonesia, millions displaced in India, damage to infrastructure like housing and fishing fleets, environmental degradation of coastlines, and psychological trauma for survivors. In response, countries established early warning systems, rebuilt infrastructure, provided housing and aid, and undertook education campaigns to help communities better prepare for future tsunamis.
Tarang Thakur presents on the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The tsunami was caused by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia on December 26, 2004. It generated waves as high as 15 meters that impacted 14 countries around the Indian Ocean, most severely in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. Approximately 230,000 people were killed or missing, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history. Massive relief and rebuilding efforts were undertaken in the aftermath by governments, organizations, and individuals spending $7.5 billion total. New warning systems using technology like seafloor sensors and satellite data have also been developed to detect future tsunamis earlier.
The document discusses the causes and effects of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It describes how plate tectonics and earthquakes can cause tsunamis, specifically focusing on the magnitude 9.0 earthquake that triggered the 2004 tsunami. It then details the devastating effects, including over 230,000 deaths in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and other countries along the Indian Ocean coastlines. Critical infrastructure and agricultural lands were destroyed, with far-reaching economic and environmental impacts.
The Kathmandu Valley is densely populated with nearly 2.5 million people, and the quality of building construction is often poor. The epicenter of today's disaster was 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of the city, and had a depth of only 11 kilometers (7 miles), which is considered shallow in geological terms. This earthquake, the worst quake to hit Nepal (a poor South Asian nation) since 1934, collapsed buildings and houses, leveled centuries-old temples and triggered avalanches in the Himalayas.

The key factors that influence how hazardous an earthquake can be are:
1. The magnitude of the earthquake, with larger earthquakes causing more damage.
2. The distance from the earthquake's epicenter, with those closer experiencing greater shaking.
3. The population density of the affected area, increasing risks to human life and infrastructure in more populated locations.
4. The level of preparedness, as damage is reduced when populations have taken measures to prepare for earthquakes.
The document compares the characteristics of Alvechurch, a suburban village located on the rural-urban fringe of Birmingham, and Selly Oak, an inner suburb of Birmingham. Alvechurch has an older, wealthier population with fewer employment and education opportunities compared to Selly Oak, which has a younger population with more students and diversity but also higher unemployment and social issues. Both areas show differences in housing, income, employment and amenities that reflect their locations within or outside of the city.
The document discusses different views on population change and policies to control population growth. It describes Thomas Malthus' view that population would outpace food supply growth, leading to famine. While this did not occur, some still believe resources are finite. Alternative views are that human innovation will develop new technologies to increase resources. China implemented its one-child policy in the 1970s to slow rapid population growth, aiming to stabilize the population at 1.4 billion by 2050. Kerala, India also focused on empowering women through education and jobs to reduce fertility rates successfully.
The document summarizes the migration of Eastern Europeans to the UK following the EU expansion in 2004. It states that over 600,000 people from the new EU countries had migrated to the UK by 2006, exceeding initial predictions of 15,000 migrants per year. The majority of these migrants came from Poland and Slovakia and found work in a variety of industries and locations throughout the UK. This influx contributed both economic and demographic impacts, with increases in births and in the working population, but also concerns about impacts on wages and community relations.
The document discusses population structures and how they are represented using population pyramids. It provides examples of population pyramids for different countries at different stages of the demographic transition model and how they change over time based on birth and death rates. It also discusses the implications of youthful and aging populations, providing case studies of the Gambia and UK respectively.
The document discusses population change and its causes. Population change results from natural changes like births and deaths, as well as migration. The demographic transition model describes the typical pattern of population change that occurs as countries industrialize - death rates initially fall as living conditions improve, followed later by falling birth rates. However, the model has weaknesses in overgeneralizing and not accounting for non-industrializing countries or factors like government policy and cultural attitudes. Migration can also significantly impact population change on both short and long time scales.
The document discusses various population indicators and their definitions. It provides data on the highest and lowest figures for each indicator by country. There are some notable patterns among the indicators. There is a negative correlation between life expectancy and infant mortality rate - as life expectancy increases, infant mortality decreases. Afghanistan has the highest infant mortality rate and lowest life expectancy, while Iceland has the lowest infant mortality and high life expectancy. Countries with high infant mortality and low life expectancy are primarily located in Africa, while countries with low infant mortality and high life expectancy are generally found in Western Europe, North America, Australasia and Southeast Asia.
Mt. St. Helens is a volcano located in Washington State that last erupted in 1980. [1] The eruption killed 57 people and caused widespread damage and environmental impacts. [2] It produced a landslide and later pyroclastic flows that destroyed forests, homes and infrastructure. [3] The eruption had significant economic and social costs for the region.
There are two types of crust - continental and oceanic - and three directions of plate movement - converging, diverging, and passive. This results in six plate boundary types: destructive (oceanic-continental convergence), destructive (oceanic-oceanic convergence), destructive (continental-continental collision), constructive (diverging at ocean ridges), constructive (continental rifting), and conservative (passive movement). Each boundary type creates different landforms and hazards due to the associated geological processes.
The document summarizes the urbanization and development of Birmingham, England from 1731 to the late 20th century. It describes how Birmingham grew from a town of 20,000 people in 1731 focused on metalworking, to a city of 400,000 people by 1880 with a diverse industrial base. Throughout the 19th century, infrastructure like canals, railways, sewers and piped water allowed the population to expand rapidly. In the mid-20th century, suburban growth accelerated as new housing and road links developed, though inner city slums remained an issue until clearance projects in the 1950s.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

1. Indian Ocean tsunami 2004
(a secondary impact of an earthquake)
Causes
• The earthquake that caused the tsunami
struck at 7:58am on December 26th 2004
• The earthquake was caused by the
subduction of the Indo-Australian plate
(oceanic) under the Eurasian plate
(continental) 240km off the coast of Indonesia
• This mega-thrust earthquake involved a 20
metre uplift of the sea floor all the way along a
fault line which was over 1000km in length
• The uplift of the sea floor caused a
displacement of billions of tonnes of water
setting in motion a tsunami wave which hit the
coast of Indonesia within half an hour of the
earthquake
2. Indian Ocean tsunami 2004
(a secondary impact of an earthquake)
Impacts of the earthquake Primary effects of the tsunami
• despite being 240km off the coast the • The wave killed people in 14 different
seismic waves from the earthquake still caused countries around the Indian Ocean
damage to poorly built homes and better built totalling over 250,000
structures over 3 storeys high in Banda Aceh (a • The highest death toll was on the
city on the coast of Sumatra) Indonesian island of Sumatra where over
130,000 were killed and over 30,000
remain missing
• In Sumatra over 500,000 people were
made homeless, over 80,000 houses
were destroyed as well as serious
damage to any ports, boats, roads,
bridges, hospitals, forests and crops
within 1km of the shore
• 8 people were killed in South Africa
which is over 8000km from the epicentre
and over 8000 tourists from Australia,
Europe and America were also killed
• In Sri Lanka, a train was derailed by the
force of the wave killing over 1000
3. Indian Ocean tsunami 2004
(a secondary impact of an earthquake)
Secondary effects of the tsunami
• Diseases such as cholera and dysentery
spread due to the lack of clean water and
sanitation in the refugee camps killing an
estimated 150,000
• Incomes were lost due to the destruction of
fishing boats and damage to the ocean bed
• Loss of foreign income from tourism was
significant in Thailand
• Emotional and psychological impacts on the
survivors and aid workers
• Land disputes broke out as documents were
lost in the devastation and in some cases land
was destroyed by erosion from the wave
4. Indian Ocean tsunami 2004
(a secondary impact of an earthquake)
Short term responses
• Bodies were buried in mass graves to help
prevent the spread of diseases
• Over $7billion was provided by governments
and NGOs (charities) in the aid effort and to
help with reconstruction
• Up to 5 million people had to be relocated
into temporary refugee camps and had to be
provided with shelter, food and water
• It took months to simply clear the debris
before rebuilding could start again Long term responses
• The Indonesian government decided to
relocate the people from the refugee camps
straight into new homes. The building of these
new home took a lot longer than expected due
to the lack of building materials and
destruction of main transport routes.
• An tsunami early warning system (shown
below) has now been installed in the Indian
Ocean at a cost of $20 million
