The 2004 earthquake in Indonesia occurred due to subduction of the indian-australian plate under the eurasian plate, creating a tsunami that killed over 220,000 people.

Most tsunamis are caused by sudden vertical movement of the ocean floor. Certain types of earthquakes, shear and normal fault earthquakes, occur at shallow depths below the seafloor and can cause very rapid seafloor movements.

As a general rule, the larger the region of displacement and hence the stronger the wave, the stronger the earthquake. In 2004, an earthquake in a subduction zone west of the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered a significant tsunami in the Indian Ocean. The Sumatra Trench is formed when pieces of the Eurasian Plate are sunk beneath the Indian Ocean Plate there.

Brrunno [24]

I think the answer is plate movement. Tectonic plate movement is the movement on the lithosphere. This movement is defined into three; we have the convergent, divergent and transform. Plate movements often caused volcanic eruptions as well as earthquakes, depending on the movement on the plates.

Place the steps of hydraulic fracturing in order, with the first step on top.
lyudmila [28]

The steps of hydraulic fracturing have been placed in order as follows:

1. The targeted shale formation is drilled to the desired depth

2. The well is completed

3. Production begins with oil and gas flowing and fracturing commencing.

4. Well abandonment which entails leaving the land as it was initially..

<h3>What is hydraulic fracturing?</h3>

Hydraulic fracturing refers to the process of injecting a well with chemicals and other materials that are needed for it to release its oil content. Hydraulic fracturing often begins with the preparation of the well to be used for the purpose.

Next is the drilling of the target area. This is followed by the completion of the well, and the beginning of production. After production is completed, the well is now abandoned or returned to the way it was when production began.
