It was also caused by the third largest earthquake in recorded history . The initial surge was measured at a height of approximately 33 meters (108 ft), making it the largest earthquake - generated tsunami in recorded history . The tsunami killed people over an area ranging from the immediate vicinity of the quake in Indonesia, Thailand, and the north - western coast of Malaysia, to thousands of kilometres away in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and even as far away as Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania in East Africa . This trans - Indian Ocean tsunami is an example of a teletsunami, which can travel vast distances across the open ocean . In this case, it is an ocean - wide tsunami . It became known as the "Boxing Day Tsunami" because it struck on Boxing Day (26 December). </P> <P> Unlike in the Pacific Ocean, there was no organized alert service covering the Indian Ocean . This was in part due to the absence of major tsunami events since 1883 (the Krakatoa eruption, which killed 36,000 people). In light of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, UNESCO and other world bodies have called for an international tsunami monitoring system . </P> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2006 </Td> <Td> South of Java Island </Td> <Td> 2006 Pangandaran earthquake and tsunami </Td> <Td> Earthquake </Td> <Td> A 7.7 magnitude earthquake rocked the Indian Ocean seabed on 17 July 2006, 200 km south of Pangandaran, a beach famous to surfers for its perfect waves .

The wave, which struck the coast of Solomon Islands (mainly Choiseul, Ghizo Island, Ranongga, and Simbo), triggered tsunami warnings and watches extending from Japan to New Zealand to Hawaii and eastern Australia . The tsunami killed 52 people and dozens more were injured when entire towns were inundated by waves . A state of national emergency was declared for the Solomon Islands . On the island of Choiseul, a wall of water reported to be 9.1 m (30 feet) high swept almost 400 meters inland . The largest waves hit the northern tip of Simbo Island, where two villages, Tapurai and Riquru, were completely destroyed by a 12 m wave, killing 10 people .

The magnitude 8.1 quake occurred on the outer rise of the Kermadec - Tonga Subduction Zone, and was the largest earthquake of 2009 . <P> The subsequent tsunami caused substantial damage and loss of life in Samoa, American Samoa, and Tonga . The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center recorded a 76 mm (3.0 in) rise in sea levels near the epicenter, and New Zealand scientists noted waves measuring 14 m (46 ft) at their highest on the Samoan coast . More than 189 people were killed, especially children, mostly in Samoa . Large waves with no major damage were reported on the coasts of Fiji, the northern coast of New Zealand and Rarotonga in the Cook Islands . People in the low - lying atolls of Tokelau moved to higher ground as a precaution .

Beginning at 350m over water height, it caused a tsunami 20--30 meters high across the caldera, and potentially larger at localized points of impact . Thanks to the late hour, no tourists were present; however, search and rescue observed a steam cloud rising from the volcano, apparently geothermal steam released by the landslide . Whether geothermal activity played a role in the landslide is uncertain . A total of 30--50 million cubic meters was involved in the landslide, raising the caldera's water level by 1--2 meters . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2015 </Td> <Td> Chile </Td> <Td> 2015 Chile earthquake </Td> <Td> Earthquake </Td> <Td> On Wednesday, September 16, 2015, a major earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Moment Magnitude scale struck the west coast of Chile, causing a tsunami up to 16 feet (4.88 meters) high along the Chilean coast . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2016 </Td> <Td> New Zealand </Td> <Td> 2016 Kaikoura earthquake </Td> <Td> Earthquake </Td> <Td> On November 14, 2016, a big earthquake struck the South Island of New Zealand measuring 7.5 to 7.8 magnitude .

In the beginning the tsunami had a height of 90 m (300 ft), but it was significantly lower once it hit the settlement . Initially it was unclear if the landslide was caused by a small earthquake (magnitude 4), but later it was confirmed that the landslide had caused the tremors . </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Date </Th> <Th> Location </Th> <Th> Main Article </Th> <Th> Primary Cause </Th> <Th> Description </Th> </Tr>
