In 2004, a massive 9.1 magnitude earthquake occurred under what ocean, creating an enormous tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people?

On December 26, 2004, off the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake struck under the waters of the Indian Ocean. The undersea megathrust launched water all around the northeastern region of the ocean, creating a tsunami with waves up to 100 feet high. It remains one of the most devastating natural disasters of the 21st century.
