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.

Answer:
Explanation:
The inner core is solid because it is made of very dense, or heavy, materials - like iron and nickel. Even though it is very hot, these materials don't "melt" very easily, so they stay solid. Answer 3: It turns out that many materials can be a solid at a higher temperature if the pressure is also higher.

The unitary system of governing is a system in which the country is governed as a single entity. There are divisions in the country, but those divisions perform tasks that have been ordered and allowed by the central government.
The federal system of governing is a system in which the power in the country is divided between the federal states and the central government. They collaborate between each other, but the federal state has its own rights to perform certain things to certain level.
The confederate system of governing is a system in which the central government doesn't really have a lot of power, but instead the power lies mostly in the federal units who are governing themselves without having to ask for permission from the central government.
An example of unitary system is Hungary, an example for federal system is the United States of America, while example for confederate system were the Southern States of America.
Answer:
The economic effects were more significant than the social effects.
Explanation:
The social effects included the flooding of over 600 houses and the evacuation of 16 farms. Villages, such as Borrowbridge, were cut off, and power supplies, roads, and railways were also affected. The Bristol to Taunton line was closed at Bridgwater for instance. The environmental impacts were even worse though; an enormous volume of debris dumped by the floodwaters had to be cleaned up and stagnant waters had to be re-oxygenated before being pumped back into rivers. However, I think the worse impact of all was the contamination of all flooded areas by oil, agricultural chemicals, livestock effluent, and human sewage. I think that this is the worst impact because of its potential for causing harm to humans and other animals.
In conclusion, I think that the socio-economic and environmental effects of this flood were both important but that the environmental effect was more important, because of the potential to cause harm.
