Q: This fascinates me. I remember seeing on the news that Colombo, Sri Lanka (which lies on the West coast of the Island country) was hit by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami,
which originated from near Indonesia in the Indian Ocean. I can understand
A: Tsunami have extremely long wavelengths when compared to wind generated waves, sometimes periods up to an hour. This means that they can wrap around the coast to the far side of an island. When tsunami encounter a bay or inlet the wave height increases
I have a project on earthquakes, and I'm doing mine on the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.
One of the criteria is to provide a map, WITH latitude and longitude lines, showing where the earthquake is.
I've looked everywhere and can't find any!

Commercial ships travel across most of the globe and could provide better warnings for potentially deadly tsunamis, according to a study published May 5 by scientists at the University of Hawaii – Manoa (UHM) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
James Foster, lead author and Assistant Researcher at the UH School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), and colleagues were able to detect and measure the properties of the tsunami generated by the magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Maule, Chile (February 2010), even though, out in the open ocean, the wave was only about 4 inches (9.4 cm) high. The UH research vessel Kilo Moana was on its way from Hawaii to Guam at the time of the tsunami, and was equipped with geodetic GPS system recording data as the tsunami passed by.
