What happened to Andaman and Nicobar islands during Tsunami?
During the tsunami, giant waves slammed into the coastline. The entire stretch of the Nicobar Islands was drowned into the sea to varying levels from 1.1 metres to 3 metres. This sudden land drowning (due to tectonic subsidence) coupled with the tsunami altered the structure of mangrove forests, said Prabakaran of WII.
