Geography Buffs-Can you answer this?

[hangemhigh]

Can anyone tell me if it is a reasonable assumption that the tsunami will cause the Indian ocean and coastlines to be re-surveyed and ultimately changed on globes? Or were the changes too small to register on a world globe? I asked this question of a national map and globemaker (not Rand McNally) and they laughed at me. Help is appreciated.

1. No, there will be no changes to the world map.

Some local features will be altered, but on a very small scale. Parts of the ocean floor will need to be re-surveyed, but that happens on a regular basis, especially around fault lines.

I suppose the size of local cities will be affected, in terms of population, in the short term.
