a tsunami hit japan on 2011 a colossel wave that was 37 meters high
Historical records suggest that tsunamis have been observed and documented throughout human history. The oldest recorded tsunami that has been identified is the Storegga Slide tsunami, which occurred around 8,000 years ago in Norway.
The motion picture The Impossible was based on the real-life survival story of the Belin Family who was on Christmas vacation in 2004 when a tsunami devastated the island of Indonesia. Resulting from an earthquake in the Indian Ocean, the tsunami has been given a variety of names including the South Asian tsunami, the Indonesian tsunami, the Christmas tsunami, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the Boxing Day tsunami. The latter name originates from a holiday that is celebrated in certain countries throughout the world on December 26, the actual day the Indonesian tsunami occurred.
No. Most tsunamis occur as a result of undersea earthquakes and there are no earthquake zones in any of the Great Lakes that can cause a tsunami. The only thing that could cause a tsunami on the Great Lakes is a large meteor impact, but no such impact has occurred since before the lakes existed.
The largest tsunami recorded in England occurred on January 31, 1607. Known as the Bristol Channel flood, it caused significant damage and loss of life along the coasts of South Wales and South West England. The exact cause of the tsunami is debated among scientists.
Yes, Fiji has experienced tsunamis in the past. One notable event was the tsunami that occurred in 1953 following an earthquake in the Aleutian Islands. This tsunami caused significant damage in Fiji and other Pacific islands.
So far 9,000 people have been proclaimed dead, and 14,000 are missing. :(
Yes, the Bahamas has experienced tsunamis in the past. Although they are not as common as in other regions with more active tectonic activity, the Bahamas can still be at risk from tsunamis generated by earthquakes or underwater landslides in the region. The last recorded significant tsunami in the Bahamas occurred in 1867.
The effect we now call tsunami has been happening since there have been oceans on the planet Earth (billions of years). There was no "First Tsunami"; the Japanese have been calling the effect 'tsunami' for many centuries.
It was discovered pretty much when it happened. After the earthquake that triggered it occurred, authorities knew that a tsunami was likely. It reached parts of the Japanese coast less than an hour later. By then it was fairly obvious that a tsunami was occurring. The event occurred on March 11, 2011.
The first recorded tsunami that hit Japan occurred off the shore of the Kii Peninsula, Nankaido, Shikoku, Kii, and Awaji region. It has been estimated to be a magnitude 8.4- Nancy-
Not from the current location. The ocean floor shift had been building pressure for many years. However, there will probably be another tsunami in the Indian Ocean eventually - there is no way of knowing when. When it does occur it will be a different tsunami from the one that occurred in 2004.
