2004年12月26日10时左右,被认为地震概率极小的印度洋突然发飙——苏门答腊海域百年不遇的海底强震搅动着一池海水,汹涌的海水在短短的4个小时之内横扫东南亚诸国,甚至大洋对面的非洲。所到之处,房塌树断、生命夭折……美国地质勘探局报告称,这次地震的震级高达里氏8.9级。这是自1964年美国阿拉斯加发生里氏9.2级地震以来的震级最高的地震,也是自1900年以来震级排名第5的强震。这次海啸使11个国家直接受灾,22万多人丧生、经济损失更是无法统计。但这远不是这次世纪之灾的全部。灾区百废待兴,贫困人口激增;部落文化被咆哮的海浪吞噬;海平面的上升甚至改写了有些国家的版图……海啸对于世界经济,文化,环境等诸多方面的影响都是巨大的。同时,海啸也引起了人们的种种猜疑和争论:印度洋海啸是天灾还是人祸?为何从未发生过大规模地震的印度洋海域会如此发威?我们脚下的大地还安全吗?是否也会突然崩塌或者淹没在海水中?为了解开这些谜团,本刊记者对这一事件进行了深入调查,以探究海啸对于世界、对中国以及对上海的影响——
At about 10 p.m. on December 26, 2004, the Indian Ocean, which is considered to have a very small probability of an earthquake, suddenly exploded - a seabed strong earthquake hit by sea in the waters of Sumatra stirred a pool of seawater that swept across Southeast Asia within just four hours Country, and even Africa across the ocean. Wherever he went, the tree fell off and the tree died. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the magnitude of the earthquake was 8.9 on the Richter scale. This is the highest magnitude earthquake since the Richter 9.2 earthquake in Alaska in 1964 and the fifth in magnitude magnitude since 1900. The tsunami directly affected 11 countries, killing more than 220,000 people and making economic losses more unpredictable. But this is far from all this century’s disaster. The quake-hit areas have been overwhelmed with the rapid increase in the number of people living in poverty; the culture of the tribe has been swallowed up by the roaring waves; the rise of the sea level has even rewritten the territory of some countries ... The tsunami has enormous impact on the world economy, culture and environment. At the same time, the tsunami has also aroused people’s suspicions and controversies: the Indian Ocean tsunami is a natural disaster or man-made disaster? Why has never been a large-scale earthquake in the Indian Ocean will be so cruel? The earth at our feet is safe? Whether it will collapse or submerge suddenly In the sea? In order to solve these mysteries, our correspondents conducted an in-depth investigation of the incident to explore the impact of the tsunami on the world, China and Shanghai -
