Looking at the diagram, one can see why such a savage tsunami was directed at western Sumatra. Not only did the seabed rise 16 feet at the plate boundry offshore, but the seabed near the coast dropped 6 feet(and the coast itself dropped dropped up 3 feet near Banda Aceh).

For the science ping list.

Isn't the whole process very interesting? Wow.

Amazing stuff.
Is there a way to calculate / guess the mass (Indian plate) required to increase the Earth's rotation speed by the time stated?
I would do the necessary calculations myself but there is not a Holiday Inn Express anywhere near me.

This should generate some magma.

Well, if things can drop up, then one can reverse gravity. With managed gravity, unimaginable future is right upon us. Congratulations to all involved in achieving this milestone. Bonuses are in the mail.

This science report is completely bogus.
Everyone knows it was Albanian spies in mini-subs who fired thermonuclear devices into the sea floor after they had left the submarine mothership His Majesty's Albanian Ship, the Hoxha, on the day after Christmas 2004.
(Please note...The HMAS Hoxha is not listed in Janes Defence Weekly as it has been roaming undetected around the worlds oceans since April 11, 1985 and is powered by a perpetual motion machine invented by Tito's grandson-in-law who is also the chef on board.)
