Distributed Tsunami Warning System

Only two weeks before Christmas 2004, I finished reading "Krakatoa" by Simon Winchester. This modern work published in 2003 has been heralded as the most definitive work on the causes for, the actual event, and the aftermath of the 1883 eruption of one of the world's largest volcanoes, Krakatoa. The eruption was so violent that the entire volcanic island blew itself apart, and sunk into the Sunda Straight between the the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra causing a 30 foot Tsunami with a death toll rivalling that of the recent 30 foot Tsunami of December 26th 2004 in the Indian Ocean just North of Sumatra.
We now understand both disasters were caused by the subduction of the Australian Oceanic Plate beneath the Asian Continental Plate. The motion that produced that subduction was in turn due to the spreading of the sea floor caused by undersea volcanic activity. These volcanoes were switched on by the changing tilt of the Earth, aligning the planet's hot molten core with the magma chambers beneath those volcanoes through a more heat conductive region of the Earth's Mantle. The Earth's changing tilt is the direct result of orbital mechanics that has nothing to do with the Earth's Geomagnetic Field as I have clearly demonstrated in My Combined Orbital Stretch Theory at this site.
Clearly, the Indian Ocean is subject to this type of tectonic activity and will produce more of these tsunamis in the future.
