What are some adaptations of a tsunami?

Answer 1

• Tsunami means "harbor wave" possibly getting its origins from being nearly undetectable until it reaches land where it does its devastation.
• Along the Washington and Oregon coasts, scientists guess that a devastating tsunami has a good chance of happening in the next 40 years
• In Hawaii, tsunamis are nearly common with a few dozen occurring over the past 100 years.
• In the past 60 years, America has had 6 of these disasters kill over 350 tsunami victims along the West Coast and Hawaii.
• The number of tsunamis per year is rising and the death tolls are climbing - partly due to increasing populations along Coastlines.
• 80% of tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean.
• Tsunamis travel 400-500 miles per hour in the open ocean. The waves slow and become taller as they approach land.
• Tsunamis are not seasonal but may occur any time. Since they are usually triggered by earthquakes, there is little or no warning that they are approaching.
• Waves are commonly 10 or 20 feet high, but have been over 100 feet high. A 10-foot wave can cause plenty of destruction requiring relief efforts.
• A tsunami is not just one wave, but a series of waves and it may be many minutes from the first wave to the next which may be much larger than the first.
• Tidal wave is a misnomor since tides have nothing to do with tsunamis.

Answer 2

Some adaptations to tsunamis include building seawalls and barriers to reduce the impact of large waves, designing buildings to be more resilient to flooding and strong currents, and implementing early warning systems to give people time to evacuate to safer areas. Additionally, educating communities about the dangers of tsunamis and promoting preparedness can help reduce the risk of damage and loss of life.
