A latest research has claimed that the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 that took more than 200,000 lives was not the first of its kind to hit the region.
Other than this, the study also says that such gigantic tsunamis occur in the Indian Ocean every 600 to 700 years. These finding could be used to predict the next Tsunami.
Karin Monecke, former post-doctoral geologist at Kent State University in Aceh, Indonesia led the research team.
