What problems are caused by Tsunami?

Answer 1

The height of a tsunami wave that struck a coastal city in Japan on March 11, 2011 at just over 77 feet high and at 33 feet in many other places. The wave speed was estimated to be 500mph or 800 kilometers per hour.

This wall of water pushed cars, boats, and anything in its way along its path which travelled up to 10 km (6 mi) inland. Many people were drowned and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was damaged sufficiently to evacuate all people living within 20km from the power planet.

Answer 3

The effects of a tsunami on a coastline can range from unnoticeable to devastating. The effects of a tsunami depend on the characteristics of the seismic event that generated the tsunami, the distance from its point of origin, its size (magnitude) and, at last, the configuration of the bathymetry (that is the depth of water in oceans) along the coast that the tsunami is approaching.

Small tsunamis, non-destructive and undetectable without specialized equipment, happen almost every day as a result of minor earthquakes and other events. They are very often too far away from land or they are too small to have any effect when they hit the shore. When a small tsunami comes to the shoreline it is often seen as a strong and fast-moving tide.

Tsunamis have long periods and can overcome obstacles such as gulfs, bays and islands. These tsunamis make landfall usually in the form of suddenly decreasing and then rapidly increasing water levels (not unlike a tidal bore) a combination of several large waves or bore-type waves. Generally tsunamis arrive, not as giant breaking waves, but as a forceful rapid increase in water levels those results in violent flooding.

However, when tsunami waves become extremely large in height, they savagely attack Coastlines, causing devastating property damage and loss of life. A small wave only 30 centimeters high in the deep ocean may grow into a monster wave 30m high as it sweeps over the shore. The effects can be further amplified where a bay, harbor, or lagoon funnels the waves as they move inland. Large tsunamis have been known to rise to over 100 feet!
