Scientists believe that a tidal wave will hit porthtowan at some point. After months of reseach scientists have dicovered that it will happen at approxemetly the 23rd of September 2009.
I just get the feeling that the above answer is tongue-in-cheek! If it isn't, then who has suddenly got incredible precision in forecasting earthquakes?
Tidal waves, or tsunamis, are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Monitoring seismic activity in coastal regions and having a warning system in place can help predict and prepare for potential tidal waves. A sudden rise or fall in sea level, unusual ocean behavior, and warning signs from animals can also indicate that a tidal wave may be approaching.
seiche - a french word meaning to sway back and forth This happened back in 1954, about two years after I was born, while my uncle and his family lived in Chicago (although they were far, far from the lake and well out of harm's way). http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Day-a-Tidal-Wave-Hit-Chicago&id=172583 shows an article written by someone who was there when it occurred.
The worst tidal wave in recorded history occurred during the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. This devastating tsunami struck on December 26, 2004, affecting several countries bordering the Indian Ocean and causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The hardest-hit areas were Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
A common name for a tsunami is a "seismic sea wave."
The two most famous (current) tsunamis are the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan and the 2004 Boxing Day (Sumatra) tsunami. The greatest historical tsunami (a series of them) accompanied the explosion of Krakatoa in August, 1883.
