It is on the International Tsunami Information Center site. !

In my opinion, yes. I am born and raised on the island and know every inch of this island. If you look around at the surrounding beaches, they are not perfect like Hapuna. They all have reef and rocks in the water and rocks on the beach. No where on this island is it so sandy on the bottom besides Hapuna and Mauna Kea Beach. It's pretty obvious that Hapuna was made for the tourism industry here. But i'm not complaining I love Hapuna Beach and it's nice to actually have a safe rockless beach on the island

Blowholes are formed in coastal areas when waves erode softer rock or sedimentary layers beneath harder rock, creating a vertical shaft that connects to the surface. As waves continue to erode the area, the blowhole expands and water can shoot upwards through the hole, creating a spout when waves crash against the coastal rocks.

Tsunamis don't generate every 10-12 years. They are generated almost every time there is a powerful earthquake along a subduction zone. If there's an earthquake on a subduction fault that hits 9.0+, you can almost be guaranteed that a tsunami's no more than half an hour away.

The Pacific Ocean end of the Panama Canal is located on the western side near Panama City. The canal allows ships to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean (or vice versa) by passing through a series of locks and channels.

On the Island of Oahu, virtually forming the seafront of Honolulu.

A chalk coastline is a type of coastline characterized by cliffs made of chalk rock. These cliffs are typically white in color and are formed by the accumulation of marine sediments and the subsequent compaction and lithification of these sediments over time. Chalk coastlines are prone to erosion due to their soft nature.

Biarritz has a coastline on the Bay of Biscay, which is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean.

The length of the UK coastline is around 17,820 km (about 5 times the length of the French coastline). Besides, the British winters are not so cold - thanks to the Gulf Stream - and Great Britain is situated on a perfect spot to receive all the (windy) low pressures fronts crossing northern Europe. ibid from

No. SF is larger according to wikipedia. I had the same question. I live in the Tampa Bay area and recently visited San Francisco and the bay seemed larger. San Francisco Bay is 1,040 to 4,160 square kilometers), depending on which sub-bays you include. Tampa Bay is 1031 square kilometers.

Lulworth Cove can be called a honeypot because it is a popular tourist destination that attracts a high number of visitors. This can lead to overcrowding, traffic congestion, and potential environmental impact due to the high volume of tourists visiting the area.

the advantages are that it helps to protect the coast line by stopping the waves pounding at the cliffs. it does this by breaking the power of the waves when it hits the little rocks inside the cage. gabions are quite natural as rubble or pebbles can be used. gabions are also quite cheap and may be prefered to other coastal defenses such as sea walls.

the disadvantages are that they may be considered unsightly by some people, they may take up quite a lot of space up on the beach as lots of gabions are needed to provide plenty of protection ( this makes the beach less desirable to people as the beach may seem more crowded) if the rocks inside the cage become worn down the whole cage will need taking out and replacing. if the gabions are stacked up in a wall and a lower one needs replacing this will mean taking out all the ones above it aswell before replacing it and rebuilding the wall. this would take lots of time and money!

A timber crib retaining system offers an excellent alternative solution being generally faster and more simple to construct without the need of skilled or experienced labour.

Timber crib can be used in both domestic and commercial applications and are considered by many as aesthetically superior to gabion baskets in addition to being environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Get people out and away from the disaster area as quickly as possible. Orginise groups of people to help search for missing people and help others cope with their loss. It is human nature to help one another. Jut because it is a huge force does not mean we can give up hope entirely. Student age 13

Continental Divide is the drainage that divides sea or ocean. The Great Divide or the Continental Divide of the Americas is the division of the Pacific Ocean watersheds from the Atlantic and Arctic.

The middle course of the Nile River runs through Sudan, starting at the city of Khartoum where the White Nile and Blue Nile converge. This section of the river is characterized by wide floodplains and fertile agricultural land.

Some notable landforms in Africa include the Sahara Desert, the Nile River, the Atlas Mountains, and the Great Rift Valley. These landforms are important geographical features that shape the landscape and environment of the continent.

This means that the conus medullaris, the end of the spinal cord, is located at the level of the first and second lumbar vertebrae (L1-L2). It appearing unremarkable suggests there are no visible abnormalities or signs of compression or damage in this area.

The pilot episode called "Panic at Malibu Pier" was from the television series "Baywatch," which originally aired in 1989. It served as the starting point for the long-running show that became popular for its lifeguards and their rescues on the beaches of Los Angeles County.

Pinellas County is 38 miles long, and 15 miles at it's broadest point, for a total of 280 square miles. 587 miles of coastline. It is the 2nd smallest county in the State of Florida.

I'll take a stab at this. long Island is 118 miles long if you draw a straight line from the Brooklyn bridge to Montalk point. If you double that to figure in the north and south shores its 236 miles. Add about 140 miles for the both sides of the barrier beach, AKA Fire Island, and you come up with 376 miles. Now factor in the distance between Riverhead and a point equidistant of the south and north forks and add 75 miles for a total of 451 miles. Then you have to figure that none of the shoreline is straight except for the barrier beach. It's a series of coves, harbors and inlets. OK, I'll double what I came up with and postulate that there are 902 miles of shoreline on Long Island. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Tsunamis can vary in strength depending on factors such as the size of the underwater earthquake, the amount of vertical displacement of the seafloor, and the distance the wave travels. Tsunamis can reach heights of over 100 feet and can cause devastating destruction when they make landfall.

Some major physical features of South America include the Andes Mountains, the Amazon Rainforest, the Atacama Desert, the Amazon River, and the Patagonia region. These features contribute to the continent's diverse landscapes and ecosystems.

If you mean, "How long ago did it occur," then the actual explosion that triggered the spill occurred on April 20th, 2010. If you are referring to the duration of the spill, then it is technically still an issue.
