Study claims that gigantic Indian Ocean tsunamis occur every 600 years

A latest research has claimed that the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 that took more than 200,000 lives was not the first of its kind to hit the region.

Other than this, the study also revealed that such gigantic tsunamis occur in the Indian Ocean every 600 to 700 years. These finding could be used to predict the next Tsunami.

Karin Monecke, former post-doctoral geologist at Kent State University in Aceh, Indonesia led the research team, and he discovered that the 2004 sand sheet headed deposits of three tsunamis from the past 1,200 years.

According to a Kent State release, “Another research team working independently concluded that a tsunami of similar size struck the region between 1300 and 1400 AD.”
