ive watched a feature on NGC that hypothesizes about the earth entering into a cycle of increased activity. hmmmmm...maybe that's what's really happening nowadays. a lot of volcanoes are active, and volcanoes and earthquakes are kinda related ayt?

Checkout "The Good News" magazine article, at http://www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn57/tsunami.htm , entitled "The Indian Ocean Tsunami: Foretaste of Things to Come?" Notice where the author says:
"According to information reported by BBC News online, global disasters in general are on the increase. Late last year the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) released its statistical survey in association with the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters at the University of Louvain in Belgium.
The BBC stated: "Events including earthquakes and volcanoes, floods and droughts, storms, fires and landslides killed about 83,000 people in 2003, up from about 53,000 deaths 13 years earlier, the ISDR said." The BBC report also said that "254 million people were affected by natural hazards last year—nearly three times as many as in 1990" (Sept. 17, 2004).
The ISDR observed: "Not only is the world globally facing more potential disasters but increasing numbers of people are becoming vulnerable to hazards" (ibid.). An earlier BBC News online report warned that "giant tsunamis, super volcanoes and earthquakes could pose a greater threat than terrorism" (Aug. 9, 2004).
Please note that the disturbing results of these surveys and the resultant observations were all released before the giant quake and tsunami that rocked nations surrounding the Indian Ocean a few months later.
... ...
The book of Revelation's warnings
The final book of the Bible speaks of major end-time happenings when natural disasters occur in extremes. The time of the end is not a normal time. Revelation talks of gargantuan events with massive numbers of people perishing as a prelude to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
We may be on the verge of entering these troubling and tragic times. (Please request or download our free booklet The Book of Revelation Unveiled to better understand these coming events.)"

Cause there are lots of earthquakes, but as long as I see this question in section "Religion" I do understand that you think the God is punishing us or something. But I think it's just because it's time fore these tsunamis and earthquakes, the earth is changing all the time, it's normal sometimes we to feel that.

Hi friends....
There are several answers scientifically, but because this is the religion site maybe it is better for me to answer it in religion point ov view. n_n.
Ok. according to me, that repeatly Tsunami is because there are a lot of people who do forgot to their GOD. They made a lot of crime and disaster. So I took that that Tsunami as the WARN to the human-beeing to be change into the better life and live in peace.

What makes you think that they are more frequent than usual? I doubt that they are
The earths plates are still moving, causing earthquakes in the oceans which, in turn, cause tsunamis.

Is is that there are more Tsunamis or is it that we have better technology with which to "see" them? Or is it perhaps that the media is reporting it more?

Tectonic plate movement is causing earthquakes under the sea in the usual places that are prone to these movements.
