An earthquake registering at nearly 9.5 on the Richter scale strikes in the Indian ocean causing the largest Tsunami in recorded history. The waves generated were enough to kill hundreds of thousands of people all across southeast Asia from Thailand to Sri Lanka and all the way to the coast of Africa. Watch the SFD documentary to see for yourself how it all happened.
The South East Asia Tsunami,
No. It couldn’t even cause a 1 foot high tsmauni. It can’t cause a tsmauni at all.Oil reservoirs are not giant, open caverns within the crust just filled with petroleum waiting to be extracted. They are dense matrices of porous sedimentary rock. When oil is extracted, the rock is still rock, and it still supports itself. Plus, the oil is never fully extracted. Oil companies are *really* lucky if they get 2/3 of the oil from a reservoir.The absolute worst thing that could happen would be a little surface subsidence on the ocean floor, which is a lowering of the surface over a long period of time. You can see this in the Tuscon area of Arizona, where they are sucking water out of their aquifer too quickly, reducing its ability to support itself.Nothing suddenly collapses, there will be no tsmauni at all. A tsmauni requires a rapid displacement of a large volume of water a draining oil reservoir cannot cause either of these. As large and horrible the gusher is, on a geologic scale it is less than nothing.
