30 PONITS TO THE BEST ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Describe how and where the tsunami was generated. Use the terms tectonic plates and subduction zones in your answer.
"Asian tsunami," "Indian Ocean tsunami," and "2004 tsunami."



Answer :

The Asian Tsunami of 2004 was located in Indonesia. The Earthquake epicentre (where it started) was in the West Coast of Sumatra.

It was a destructive plate margin, which is where the less denser plate (continental) subducts into the oceanic crust. It moved down into the mantle and moved so sudden, it caused a lot of water to be displaced.

This triggered a tsunami of 30m high.
