South China Sea Tsunami
On May 22, 1960 an earthquake measuring the strongest in recorded history, occurred off the coast of South Central Chile. Measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale, triggered a tsunami 30 feet high. Nearly fifteen minutes after the quake, the first tsunami-affected land, flooding more than 500 miles from the coast of Chile. With a combination of earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and damage, it is estimated that one out of every three homes in the quake zone have been lost. Source: scieds.com estimated cost of more than 550 million U.S. dollars (1960 dollars), and mortality is estimated to reach 2,000.
But the tsunami is still far from finished. The wave hit Hilo, Hawaii, 15 hours later, killing 61 people and wounding 282 others ill. Because of confusion over the warning sirens, people returned to their homes after the first wave, only to be arrested in 20-foot waves that followed was deafening.
22 hours after 9.5 quake, the tsunami radiated from the epicenter Chile and arrived in Japan. For hours, residents experienced by waves as high as 14 feet. After the destruction is complete, Japan 122 people lost their lives to the heavy water

Tsunamis caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in the Sunda Strait
Tsunamis caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in the Sunda Strait
Krakatoa is a volcanic archipelago that are still active and located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. This name ever pinned on a volcanic peak there (Mount Krakatoa), which vanish because of its own eruptions on 26-27 August 1883. The eruption was so powerful; hot clouds and the resulting tsunami killed about 36,000 people. Up until December 26, 2004, this is a terdahsyat tsunami in the Indian Ocean region. Cracking noise was heard up in Alice Springs, Australia and the island of Rodrigues near Africa, 4653 miles. Yield estimated at 30,000 times the atomic bomb that was detonated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.
The eruption of Krakatoa caused global climate change. The world was dark for two and a half days due to volcanic ash that covered the atmosphere. The sun was shining dim until next year. Scattering of dust visible in the sky Norway to New York.
Noted that the eruption of Krakatoa was the first major disaster in the world after the invention of the telegraph under the sea. Progress is, unfortunately, has not been matched by progress in the field of geology. The geologist was not even able to give an explanation of these eruptions.

Aceh, Indonesia.
Tectonic earthquake measuring 8.5 Richter Scale centered in the Indian Ocean (2.9 latitude and 95.6 east longitude at a depth of 20 km (in the sea is about 149 km southtown of Meulaboh ,Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam ).The quake was accompanied by a tidal wave ( tsunami) that swept some offshore areas in Indonesia (Aceh and North Sumatra), Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Maldives and Thailand.
