Will someone help me out? What caused the Christmas Day Tsunami? What kinds of geographic forces were involved in creating the tsunami? Why were so many people caught unprepared? I read the article and was still a little confused. :/

Have you got the article you were given to read? (That way I could read it and try to explain it to you).

In basic it was a result of an earthquake from subducting plates that occurred in the indian ocean which in turn caused a massive movement of water.
