<DIV>Thanks for forwarding this information.I have observed that the
vegetation has faced the force of waves at first and later the flooding has
resulted in uprooting of plants.In Indian ocean Tsunami is new thing.I am
eager to know the comments of the experts living in countries at Pacific
ocean.Whether the vegetation helps in slowing down the speed of waves? </DIV>

Fellow MPWG'ists - Some of my fellow mpwg's may be<BR>voracious surfers and
found this already... but I just<BR>found it minutes ago. This puts another
spin on our<BR>discussion of vegetation devastation and the evolution<BR>of
tropical plants. <BR><BR>I can claim ignorance - being an inhabitant of
the<BR>interior US - this level of destruction is far more<BR>than I have
knowledge... I guess I am not quite as old<BR>as dirt
yet:>)<BR><BR>http://globalsecurity.org/eye/andaman-pix.htm<BR><BR><BR><BR>__________________________________
