Probably the greatest
tsunami reported in modern
history was the tsunami wave
in the Indian Ocean that
occurred in 2004, which
massively hit the coastline of
Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India
and Thailand and caused
more than 200 000 deaths of
locals as well as foreign
tourists.
Poverty is a serious issue today,
but in the future, poverty in the
