Abstract

The Andaman region itself is seismically very active. The earliest recorded tsunamis on the eastern Indian coast are, in fact, because of subduction events off the Car Nicobar island. The first was on December 31, 1881, which had a magnitude of at least 7.5. A more recent tsunami event is that of June 26, 1941, which had a magnitude of at least 8.5. Both caused fairly severe damage to masonry and other structures on the coast. The number of deaths that these may have caused is not known.
