The area in the Indian Ocean where the tsunami disaster happened
must be very unstable. |
Velia |
It certainly is. You don't have to look too far back in history to
realize that. |
Clark |
What do you mean ? |
Velia |
Well a volcano erupted on
Krakatau Island there in 1883. |
Clark |
Oh I've read about that. It was one of the greatest volcanic
eruptions ever recorded. |
Velia |
It certainly was. It also caused a huge tsunami around 40m high.
That's four times higher than the one that's just happened. It must
have been absolutely terrifying. |
