Mega Tsunami:
In 2004, a massive underwater earthquake off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra Island measured an astounding 9.0 on the Richter scale and was the world's largest since 1964. Far more devastating than the earthquake itself, the resulting tsunami in the Indian Ocean devastated entire communities and resulted in a death toll of more than 200,000 people.

Italian scientists have been studying how the possible collapse of part of Mount Etna, a volcano located on the east coast of Sicily, could have created a megatsunami in 6,000 B.C. that devastated the prehistoric Mediterranean region. The powerful force of the colossal Etna landslide hitting the Mediterranean Sea, could have yielded waves as high as 164 feet.double the height of the 2004 Sumatra tsunami. Traveling several hundred miles an hour, the tsunami would have torn through Libya and Greece, reaching as far as the shores of the Middle East, more than 1,200 miles away, in as little as three hours.
