522:. Is a bit long, but the wait for loading is worth it. I have a few minor issues and would like to know if they can be addressed. Firstly, the waters below Africa have a different shade. Can it be fixed? Furthermore, if one waits for the water front to reach the lower parts of the globe, one can see that they move out of the animated frame. This is a bit distracting only if one starts noticing it as its usually not very apparent as most people tend to concentrate on the active regions not the serene ocean. This animation shows me something I was quite unaware of. It shows that the Tsunami waves bounced back from India and hit Thailand. Then they bounce back again to hit India (though with substantially lower intensity). Did this happen? Did this get mention in the media and does the article mention this? -

Unfortunately, amending any of the above would mean drawing in the extra detail on 122 frames :-/ I can't do it, but I'll take my hat off to anyone who does! As for the wave deflection, the article does discuss it in interesting detail but it doesn't mention that specific point. If you want to read further, check out

OK I have tried to fix in in ImageReady (first time I ever tried using it) and it seems to have worked. I've also put a 1.5 second pause on the last frame. If there are no major flaws I haven't spotted, I'll use it to replace the original nomination. I'll upload it as a text link because of size ~

for evidence of authorship — it isn't made clear anywhere on the commons image page itself). The wave depiction is accurate: the reason the leading fronts sometimes seem to hesitate before hitting the shore is that waves slow down in shallower water. Tsunamis travel fastest in the deeper ocean.
254:. 100% informative and encyclopedic. Interesting to see how the island chains slow the wave, and how there actually is a reflection of it from the coast of Sri Lanka and India. However, if someone could fix the slight glitch (the image jitters when the wave starts), it would be even better. --
536:
The edit reduces the file size by 15%, if that helps. I agree your suggestions might be more pleasing, although I don't think the waters are a different colour below Africa — I reckon that part simply doesn't have the water layer drawn on it (i.e., we are looking at the ocean bottom there).

in place of a smaller but incomplete version just two days ago — maybe not long enough to judge whether an image has been accepted in most circumstances, but as it happens the article itself was promoted to
Featured status that day, and so it has had plenty of attention since.

edited version. This is brilliant, but one suggestion. To me it is in an illogical place in the article. If we can't have it as the first picture (which I would prefer as it's so good), shouldn't it be in the 'Tsunami' section, not the 'Tectonic Plates' section?
594:. Ocean colour is inconsistent towards Antarctica. Madagascar is too small. Maldives and other islands are invisible. Waves don't seem to hit South Africa which is factually inaccurate and contradicts the associated article. Substandard quality animation.
267:
I don't see any jitters... What I have found in the past is that some computers stumble over large high frame rate animated gifs. Anyone else? Perhaps analying each frame might help. Or maybe I'm just not perceptive enough. :)
825:
as promised above. It fixes the 1-pixel South Seas twitch in frame 1 as requested by Janke, it has a pause on the end as requested by
Stevage, and it reduces the file size 15% with zero loss to the relief of all ~
326:
Well it was a big earthquake! You could excuse it for jittering around a bit ;). Yeah, I see it now. I assumed you meant the animation jittered in terms of continuity (which it does, but not overly offensively).
175:
I agree that could well be an improvement. I'm sure one of the gracious and talented contributors who frequent this page and know how to do it would be good enough to give it a go.... *looks hopeful* ~

I was expecting that it was missed in the original too and would be difficult to correct. Anyway, its still good enough. Thanks for providing the link. -

On my Mac G4 (which should indeed be fast enough), the
Malaysian peninsula moves 1 px to the right just as the wave starts. Anyne else seeing that? --
