As the 2004 Tsunami hit areas with tourists, people from over 50 85 were among the dead. This made it a truly world disaster.The 2004 Tsunami disaster shook the world. Before it happened, most people did not even know what a tsunami was. Then in the hours and days after the first killer waves hit the coast of 13 Southeast Asian and African countries. 86 began to talk about tsunami.The 2004 Tsunami was caused by a 9.15 earthquake. The earthquake was so powerful that the ocean floor split into a 1,000 km long crack (1,000 km: the distance from Beijing to Wuhan). The two sides of this crack moved 87 about 10 metres (10 metres: the height of a four-floor building).This caused the movement of about 30 km3 of water (30 km3: the amount of water in 12 million Olympic swimming pools)!270,000 humans lost their lives in the 2004 Tsunami, but 88 , not a single animal in the Yala National Park was killed. How did the animals know the tsunami was coming? Nobody knows, but they had moved to 89 ground or climbed up hills and big trees and were saved. Scientists say that studying animal behaviour could serve as an early warning system for humans in the future.On 26 December, 2004, Tilly Smith, a 10-year-old British schoolgirl was walking along a beautiful beach in Thailand with her mother.

Tilly got her family and 100 other people to safety before the first wave hit the beach.Natural disasters are unexpected. 91 you often hear about them and their terrible effects, you never imagine one happening to you.
