Coastlines

Lake of the Ozarks is not on a river, it is a man-made reservoir created by impounding the Osage River in central Missouri.

Cliff grading is the process of assessing the stability and safety of a cliff face. Factors such as rock type, weathering, steepness, and potential for erosion are considered when determining the grade of a cliff. This information is important for understanding the risk of rockfall or landslides in the area.

A constructive coastline is a type of coastline where deposition of sediments exceeds erosion, resulting in the gradual buildup of land. This can lead to the formation of features such as beaches, spits, and barrier islands.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was the result of a megathrust earthquake. Such an earthquake occurs at a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate collide with and slides under another. The earthquake occurred when the Indian plate slipped eastward and a bit further under the Burma plate. As a result, part of the seafloor on the Burma plate was thrust upward, displacing the enormous volume of water above it.

A tsunami is nothing more than a huge movement of water caused by a major seismic event, like an earthquake.

One way of illustrating this is by getting an aquarium, and building a sandy beach in it (make sure that it has a rim that will prevent the water from washing away the sand too early). The beach should slope slightly, to enhance the effect.

Then, fill it with water to just below the edge of the rim. This will give you a sea with a sandy beach.

Then, fill a container with water (like a small water bucket attached to a piece of rope) and put it in the water. If you measured it correctly, that should put the water to just at the edge of the beach.

Now, to replicate a tsunami, grab hold of the rope and pull up the bucket, then let it drop into the water again.

What you will see is that as the bucket is hoisted, the sea retracts, returning like a huge wave washing over the beach once you drop the bucket again. This is exactly what it looks like when a tsunami happens.

Tsunami waves can cause many deaths due to their sheer force and speed. When they hit coastal areas, they can quickly inundate low-lying regions, sweeping people and structures away. The strong currents and debris in the water can also cause drowning and injuries.

Florida wins the prize with 1.350 miles compared to 840 miles for California.

Texas has more miles of general coastline than Louisiana. Texas has approximately 367 miles of general coastline, while Louisiana has approximately 397 miles of general coastline.

The tsunami that struck Thailand in 2004 was not caused by a cyclone, no tsunami is. Like most tsunamis, it was triggered by an earthquake. Estimated of its size range between magnitude 9.1 and 9.3

Tsunami waves can occur in the middle of the ocean as a result of undersea earthquakes or landslides. These waves may not be as noticeable in open ocean areas due to their long wavelengths, but they can build up in height and strength as they approach coastal areas.

Arizona has no coastline. Lakeshores and river banks don't count.

The Barents Sea is a large cold ocean to the north of Norway, bordered by Norway and Russia. It is known for its rich marine life and importance for fishing and oil and gas exploration. The sea is ice-covered in winter and supports a variety of marine mammals and seabirds.

India shares its borders with Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and Bangladesh. Of these land borders, India shares its longest one with Bangladesh. The border between Bangladesh and India stretches 4,096 km (2,545 mi) and is the fifth longest land border in the world.

Lulworth Cove will continue to be shaped by erosion and geological processes, resulting in its gradual evolution over time. Climate change and sea level rise may also have an impact on the cove's morphology, potentially altering its appearance in the future. Its importance as a geological and natural heritage site will likely be preserved through conservation efforts.

A tsunami is a huge ocean wave that can travel at speeds up to 600 mi/hr (965 km/hr), hundreds of miles over open sea before it hits land. Sometimes incorrectly called a tidal wave, a tsunami is usually caused by an earthquake, volcanic eruption or coastal landslide.

a really big wave

Yes, a large ship in the ocean will likely feel the effects of a tsunami passing underneath it, causing it to rise and fall with the passing wave. However, because of a ship's size and weight, it is less affected by tsunamis compared to smaller vessels. The crew might notice the ship rising and falling, but it is unlikely to cause significant damage to the ship itself.

they warn them by calling up santa clause in the north paul and saying, yo a country is about to get hit by a tsunami.' then santa sends a little kid in that country a note saying you need to leave your country now. then the little kid leaves and boom the country is sade

The Plateau of Mexico is drier than the Yucatan Peninsula because of its higher elevation, which leads to cooler temperatures and less moisture in the air. Additionally, the Yucatan Peninsula is influenced by its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, which bring in more moisture and precipitation.

Longshore drift is evidence of constructive waves. Constructive waves carry and deposit sediment along the coastline, resulting in the movement of sand and material parallel to the shore. This process helps build up beaches and create landforms such as spits and barrier islands.

Tsunamis can reach heights of over 100 feet in shallow water due to the immense energy they carry. As they reach the shore and the water becomes shallower, the wave height can increase dramatically, resulting in devastating impacts on coastal areas. It is important to take tsunami warnings seriously and evacuate to higher ground if necessary.

One prominent physical feature along the west coast of England is the coastal cliffs, such as the famous cliffs of Dover. These cliffs are composed of white chalk and can be several hundred feet high in some places, offering dramatic views of the English Channel.

If the tsunami is the result of an earthquake, then scientists take three locations that the earthquake hit. They find a radius by finding out how long it took for P waves and S waves to hit the land. Once they've drawn circles, calculated by the radius, around all three locations there is an epicenter. This is where all three circles intersect. They then have seismographs that show the damage of the earthquake by a Moment Magnitude Scale. Then they predict that a tsunami will follow shortly after and they warn the countries in danger.

The typical velocity of a tsunami in deep ocean waters is around 500-600 miles per hour (800-1000 kilometers per hour). However, this speed decreases significantly as the tsunami approaches shallow waters near the coast.

Depending on the size, it can range from just seawater left wherever the wave reached to total demolition of what it hit, leaving soil and water everywhere, like the results of the March 11 tsunami in Japan.

A tsunami wave train is a series of waves caused by the displacement of large amounts of ocean water. They are often very destructive when they make landfall, and are caused by earthquakes, landslides, underwater volcanos and explosions, and other water disturbances.
