    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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
  • Daniela 1400 on 13 Feb 12
     
    This shows the difference between tidal waves & tsunamis. Also how some tsunamis are caused.

  • Japan's most powerful earthquake since records began has struck the north-east coast, triggering a massive tsunami.
  • A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels.
  • Officials say 350 people are dead and about 500 missing, but it is feared the final death toll will be much higher.
  • The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, said scientists. Thousands of people living near the Fukushima nuclear power plant have been ordered to evacuate.
  • Measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, it struck at 1446 local time (0546 GMT) at a depth of about 24km. 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.

  • In 1519, the ambitious Hernán Cortés set out from Cuba with 600 men on an expedition to the mainland in present-day Mexico. He soon came into contact with the mighty Aztec Empire, home to millions of citizens and thousands of warriors. By deftly exploiting traditional feuds and rivalries among the tribes that made up the Empire, he was able to conquer the mighty Aztecs, securing a vast fortune and noble title for himself. He also inspired thousands of Spaniards to swarm to the New World to try and emulate him.
  • All of the conquistadors who came to the New World were ruthless, tough, ambitious and cruel, but Pedro de Alvarado was in a class by himself. Known by the natives as "Tonatiuh," or "Sun God" for his blonde hair, Alvarado was Cortés' most trusted lieutenant, and the one Cortés trusted to explore and conquer lands to the south of Mexico.
  • Alvarado found the remnants of the Maya Empire and using what he had learned from Cortés, soon turned local ethnic groups' mistrust of one another to his advantage.

    The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, or the Great East Japan Earthquake, was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw). The tsunami caused a number of nuclear accidents, primarily the ongoing level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents. Many electrical generators were taken down, and at least three nuclear reactors suffered explosions due to hydrogen gas that had built up within their outer containment buildings after cooling system failure.
