the rivers and seas... but they kill people, houses, and other objets like cars, trucks, and buses.
HOW LONG WILL A TSUNMI HAPPEN?
Very strong
1oo ooo
Japanese - I believe it means 'harbor wave'.
South Africa never experienced a Tsunami wave.
Yes there was one in Hawaii. They warned that there was an earthquake at the Indian Ocean. Later they warned that there is a possibility of a tsunami.
the difference between a tsunami and an earth quake is an earthquake is when the tectonic plates collide in some form a tsunami is an underwater earthquake that creates a huge tidal wave. that is very basic but i hope it helps!
-- If you have a choice, live inland, not near the coast.-- If you have a choice, live on high ground, not low ground.-- Make an escape plan, but be aware that everybody else around youwill also be trying to get away fast, just as you will, and traffic may beslow.
Tsunamis are long, high sea waves usually caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. They can travel at high speeds across the ocean and cause widespread destruction when they reach land. Tsunamis have long wavelengths and low wave heights in deep water, but their energy allows them to grow larger as they approach the shore.
Its hard to know a tsunami is coming but when you hear of one you need to get to higher ground as fast as possible. Tsunami waves can range anywhere from 10 to 80 feet and they can destroy and kill thousands in a matter of minutes. The best thing you can do is get to high ground and get as far from the coast as possible.
If you are in a coastal area and a tsunami is imminent, move to higher ground as quickly as possible. Head inland or to a designated tsunami evacuation site. Follow any official warnings and evacuation orders provided by local authorities.
come forward
