  • A tsunami (plural: tsunamis or tsunami; from Japanese: 津波, lit. "harbor wave";
  • is a series of water waves
  • Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Tsunami are sometimes referred to as tidal waves
  • Tsunami and tides both produce waves of water that move inland, but in the case of tsunami the inland movement of water is much greater and lasts for a longer period, giving the impression of an incredibly high tide

    This shows the difference between tidal waves & tsunamis. Also how some tsunamis are caused.

    tsunamies are big waves that come from the sea and makes a big disaster. below water there is alot of potential to make a tsunamies.if the tsunamies are to big thy can damage the oceans basins.
  • Ana Quintanilla Hidalgo on 13 Feb 12
     
    Tsunamis waves do not resemble normal waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide, and for this reason they are often referred to as tidal waves.

  • Tsunamis are some of the most devastating natural disasters known to man.
  • For most people who live in land the greatest threat is from overflowing rivers and creeks.
  • A tsunami has all of these detrimental effects plus the added destructive power crashing waves.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • As you many know a tsunami is caused by a strong earthquake on the ocean bed. The vibrations travel through the water traveling sometimes thousands of kilometers.
  • The immediate destruction is only the beginning of the damage.
  • On December 24, 2004, a massive 9.2 earthquake occurred of the islan
  • of Sumatra. It created a deadly series of tsunamis that swept Indonesia, India, Madagascar, and Ethiopia.
  • The water level becomes shallower causing the waves caused by the earthquake to compress and combine. This is what creates the massive and destructive waves that cause so much destruction.
  • devastating natural disasters known to man.
  • sweep away people, causing them to drown.

    The massive wave of water, as high as 10 metres in some parts, reached more than five kilometres inland. The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast amid warnings of a tsunami of between six and 10 metres. Towns and farms around Sendai city in northern Japan have been engulfed by a seven-metre tsunami, while a four-metre wave swamped parts of Kamaishi on the Pacific coast. Residents have been ordered to high ground and stay away from the coast as tsunamis can strike in several waves. Seismologists say the quake was 160 times more powerful than the one that devastated Christchurch last month.

The tsunami rolled across the Pacific at 800km/h (500mph) - as fast as a jetliner - before hitting Hawaii and the US West Coast, but there were no reports of major damage from those regions.

  • n December, Mr. Noda announced that technicians had regained control of reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, declaring an end to the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernoybl.
  • But for many of the people of Fukushima, the crisis is far from over. More than 160,000 people remain displaced, and even as the government lifts evacuation orders for some communities, many are refusing to return home.
