Inevitably some plankton and a range of littoral marine species will be washed onto land and carried inland by the force of the tsunami wave. These are frequently found inland in deposits left by tsunamis and in the geological record can be used to characterize these events in the past.

Is The Tsunami Stronger Than A Tornado?

They are both kind of strong because a tornado can pick up objects and throw them. tsunamis can send big waves to wash off almost the whole island


Why did the tsunami get bigger as it approached land?

When the waves come closer to the land they rub against the sea floor, and friction causes the waves to slow down and build up from behind creating huge piles of water to crash on the land A tsunami spreads out from an earthquake's epicenter and speeds across the ocean. In the open ocean, the height of the wave is low. As a tsunami approaches shallow water, the wave grows into a mountain of water.


How do you adapt to tsunamis?

Well, humans have not really adapted to tsunamis yet. We can sometimes tell when one is going to happen and evacuate people from the regions that will be affected by it. We've put up some blockades around beaches so the water wont affect the land as bad. The best thing to do during an tsunami is to find a high ground so that you wont get swept away by the water, or so nothing will fall on you. Hope this helped.


Are sharks bad?

no, without sharks the entire marine ecosystem would fall apart. they clean up all the dead stuff and keep numbers of species at a level so that they wont be overpopulated. they only bite people because they don't know what we are and don't have hands to pick us up and look at us.


Are tsunamis deadlier than hurricanes?

No, Hurricanes are not stronger than tsunamis! Tsunamis are water waves than piles up to one giant wave that lasts about eight hours wiping out a whole island. Then they pick back up and keeps going to wash out other islands. Once a tsunami hit Hawaii and went to japan which is on the other side of the earth around eight hours which is faster than a jet!

How does a tsunami warning machine work?

A tsunami warning machine depends on information that comes from a network of sensors. These sensors indicate when an earthquake happens, and geologists decide if a tsunami is likely. If so, they send out a warning. If the wave sensors pick up actual tsunami activity, the tsunami warning machine is activated in each of the areas that is at risk.
