What caused the Sunda Strait tsunami?
The lack of a powerful earthquake or strong volcanic eruption caused the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) to initially announce that the waves did not constitute a tsunami but were instead caused by high tide. It was only discovered hours later that the tide was three to five meters high, and potentially caused by volcanic activity of Mount Anak Krakatau, which is located in the middle of the Sunda Strait that divides Sumatra and Java.
