Density Slice of Damaged Land After Tsunami

Based on our map, excluding the Ocean, the red portion of Sumatra, Indonesia was completely destroyed and inundated by the 2004 Tsunami. This includes infrastructure. The only things still standing in this area were palm trees. The green portion of our map marks the area where all agriculture had been destroyed and poisoned by water damage. The blue portion still shows areas of some damage, but to a lesser extent that the area closer to the coast experienced. However, this blue area was where many survivors from the more coastal area relocated after the earthquake and tsunami destroyed their original homes.
