Earthquakes can occur underwater as well as on soil. These underwater earthquakes are very dangerous, as they produce large waves called tsunami's. These's big waves can be very destructive. We saw this on the 26th of december 2004. An tsunami caused by a 9.0 magnitude hit the malaysian coast and surrounding countries. These tsunami's travelled as far as 91000 miles. The death toll of the asian tsunami was over 200000. It was the worst natural disaster ever to hit the asian counties.
