Why didn't a tsunami occur after the Christchurch earthquake?
A tsunami did occur after the Christchurch earthquake, but it was relatively small and localized. The earthquake did not generate a large enough displacement of water to create a significant tsunami. Additionally, the orientation of the fault line and the shallow depth of the earthquake further limited the potential for a widespread tsunami.
Possibilities of a tsunami occurring in kent?
A tsunami is suspected to have occured after the 1580 Dover earthquake, which some scientisits believed caused an undersea landslide which triggered a tsunami, which was previously put down to seiches. This is a potential future trigger of a tsunami in Kent, although another more relistic one is an earthquake off Portugal, where one occured in 1755 and sent a tsunami to Cornwall, although if the waves did reach Kent they would probably be quite small.

How can you hide a small penis when swimming?
Everyone's penis is small when they're swimming. It's the cold water that shrinks it. Besides, no one is paying any attention to your very famous penis (I assume, since you think everyone is watching it . . . )
Tsunamis swells and rip currents?
It is possible that Tsunamis can change the direction of a current as it swells, but will not destroy it completely. After a small tsunami hits the shore, the currents can return to their original course. If a tsunami is very strong, the current will not be able to return to its original position. So, the fate of the currents really depend on whether the tsunami is big or small. In my opinion, a tsunami is unpredictable.

Can people cause tsunamis?
This is hard to answer because of the definition of tsunami. Certainly people are not able to create tsunamis like the one that struck Japan recently. However some tsunamis are small and of little note. Since tsunamis can be caused by underwater faults, small faults and thus small water pulses can be caused by the pumping of oil from under the sea. Also, the hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll caused a tsunami like wave. I'm not sure whether is was considered an official tsunami, but some definitions say tsunamis are generated by any large, impulsive displacement of the sea level. The hydrogen bomb certainly caused a large, impulsive displacement of the sea level so by this definition it caused a tsunami.
