The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on Sunday, 26 December 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake. The resulting tsunami is given various names, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, South Asian tsunami, Indonesian tsunami, and Boxing Day tsunami.
The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (98 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
With a magnitude of Mw 9.1–9.3, it is the third largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. The earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska. Its epicentre was between Simeulue and mainland Indonesia. The plight of the affected people and countries prompted a worldwide humanitarian response. In all, the worldwide community donated more than $14 billion (2004 US$) in humanitarian aid.
The Indian Ocean is the third largest of the world's oceanic divisions, covering approximately 20% of the water on the Earth's surface. It is bounded on the north by the Indian Subcontinent and Arabian Peninsula (or, more generally, by southern and western Asia); on the west by eastern Africa; on the east by Indochina, the Sunda Islands, and Australia; and on the south by the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, by Antarctica). The ocean is named after the geographic location of India.
As one component of the interconnected global ocean, the Indian Ocean is delineated from the Atlantic Ocean by the 20° east meridian running south from Cape Agulhas, and from the Pacific by the meridian of 146°55' east. The northernmost extent of the Indian Ocean is approximately 30° north in the Persian Gulf. This ocean is nearly 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi) wide at the southern tips of Africa and Australia; its area is 73,556,000 square kilometres (28,350,000 sq mi), including the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
Are ruk ja are thum ja
Are ruk ja re bandhe are thum ja re bandhe ki kudrat has padegi ho - 3
Are neendein hai jakhmi
Are sapne hai bhooke
Ki karvat phat padegi ho
Are ruk ja re bandhe are thum ja re bandhe ki kudrat has padegi ho - 2
Are mandir ye chup hai are masjid ye gumsum
Ibadat thak padegi ho
Samay ki lal aandhi kabristan ke raaste
Are latpath chalegi ho
Are ruk ja re bandhe are thum ja re bandhe ki kudrat has padegi ho - 2
Kise kafir kahega kise kayar kahega
Teri kab tak chalegi ho
Kise kafir kahega kise kayar kahega
Teri kab tak chalegi ho
Are ruk ja re bandhe are thum ja re bandhe ki kudrat has padegi ho - 2
Are mandir ye chup hai are masjid hai gumsum
Ibadat thak padegi ho
Samay ki lal aandhi kabristan ye raste
Are latpath chalegi ho
Are ruk ja re bandhe are thum ja re bandhe ki kudrat has padegi ho - 2
Are neendein hai jakhmi are sapne hai bhooke
Ki karvat phat padegi ho
Yeh andhi chot teri Kabhi ki sukh jaati
