An enclosed area of Indian Ocean formed by Burma on the east and a ridge running through the tail of Burma, Andaman and Nicobor Islands and merging with Sumatra is called the Andaman Basin.
Had the sea level be about 200 ft. lower, Andaman and Nicobor Islands could be connected by land with Burma on one side and Sumatra on the other. Then history of these places could be different.
Tsunami was formed nearby on 26th December 2004.
