Tsunami information

Tsunami (Japanese: Yu ? ? [ts Nami Sha's] light. "Waves in the harbor," English pronunciation: / su n-miles of ?? ?? / or / Tsu ? ?? miles /) series or tsunami, n ?? wave (tsunami train, called [1]) is caused by a large displacement of the sea or lake water body. Tsunami is a common phenomenon in Japan, about 195 events recorded Shitaimasu. [2], due to the huge amount of water and energy officials, tsunami, can devastate coastal areas. Because people can run faster than the moving waves, casualties may be higher.

Earthquakes, underwater explosion and volcanic eruptions (explosive nuclear bomb in the sea), mass movement and other landslides, the impact of the fireball, under water or other disabilities and are likely to generate a tsunami all.

Thucydides History of Greece, the concerns of three first undersea earthquake and tsunami] [4], but until you understand the nature of the tsunami [will be subject to ongoing research and 20th century slim. Geology, marine early, many geographical texts, the tsunami, "please see the seismic sea wave."

Some weather conditions can cause deep depression and tropical cyclones, tsunami surge that one so-called meteor storms than normal tide levels, some on foot. The shift from the center of the cyclone depression. As the storm surge to reach these shores, they are similar (case) may not be huge tsunami flooded the land. These high tides, Burma (Myanmar) of the May 8002 flood

Overlying water moves vertically and move it occurs suddenly converging or destructive plate boundaries tsunami. This is a very they (construction) seems different plate boundary is formed or maintained. Boundaries do not interfere with the construction and maintenance of the vertical displacement of the water gauge in general, this. Generates the majority of tsunami related to the subduction zone earthquakes.

Since the tsunami, they realize, on the sea, as a rule, usually about 300 mm (12 inches) usually form a small-amplitude goes above a small swell (wave heights) offshore, very long wavelengths (more If hundreds of miles long) sea level. They grow and they reach shallow water as described in shallow-water wave height process. The tsunami flooded in coastal low tide, and can occur at any state of tide.

April 1, 1946, magnitude 7.8 (Richter scale) earthquake near the Aleutian Islands, Alaska occurred. This is a 14 meter tsunami island (46 feet) will generate a flood of high surf and Hilo. The floor of the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes (or pushed) sank area occurred in Alaska.

As an example of convergent margin away from the tsunami in place, Storegga, including about 8,000 in 1929, Grand Banks, Papua New Guinea 1998 (Tappin, 2001). Grand Banks, Papua New Guinea, flowing toward the ocean sediment is unstable, creating earthquakes and tsunami tidal waves came. They are pre-paid travel transoceanic distances.

Storegga sediments cause of failure is not known. Possible deposits, earthquakes and gas hydrates (methane etc.) are included overload release

Valdivia earthquake in 1960 (Mw is 9.5) (19:11 UTC clock), the Alaska earthquake in 1964 (Mw is 9.2), the Indian Ocean earthquake in 2004 (Mw is 9.2) (0 UTC time is 58 minutes 53 seconds), powerful Mega-tsunami thrust generated the most recent examples of earthquakes (called distant tsunami) is all you can cross the sea. Small trigger (Mw is 4.2) earthquake and tsunami in Japan can be (so-called local and regional tsunami) can only destroy the nearby coast, which can be minute.

Hypothesis that [the 1950s? ] Is the Krakatoa volcano exploded and possible landslides and tsunami of Santorini larger than before (cause), I thought the event as the effect of water contact. These symptoms quickly, you can replace a large amount of water to absorb the water faster than the expansion of the transfer of energy and water, such as falling objects. Mediadabumega tsunami.

Tsunami, by these mechanisms, Trans Ocean tsunami, as opposed to distant causes little influence to affect the coastal waters of most can be quickly consumed. These events, in 1958 Lituya a landslide head of the Gulf, m 524 (produced by foot 1719), the impact locally significant inferred wave with the first increase to the (soliton) may give. Geological evidence for this hypothesis is, however, very large landslides can generate distance transport of marine mega-tsunami transformer.
