Long before the devastating December 2004 Indian Ocean event, tsunamis had already been implicated in the widespread death and destruction in Java and Sumatra following the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. Tsunamis are also blamed for the collapse of the ancient Minoan civilization on Crete. These energy-charged series of waves are capable of overrunning almost any coastline in the world and exacting a serious toll on both property and life. In this interactive world map from NOVA Online, you can explore key tsunamis dating from 3.5 billion years ago, along with a hypothesized future event.

Andrew Jackson, who finished second in the House vote, thought the election was shady, accusing Henry Clay of a corrupt bargain to get Adams elected President so that Clay could be his Secretary of State.
