Abstract
- The article presents information on Brian Atwater, a geologist and a scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey. He focuses on the unknown origin of tsunami that inflicted widespread damage across the Indian Ocean and killed more than 200,000 people in 2004. He found that violent earthquakes that transform forests and marshes into barren mudflats are also responsible for the tsunamis.
