Tsunamis

Tsunamis are most likely to occur in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is an area around the Pacific Ocean known for high seismic and volcanic activity. This includes places like Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the west coast of the United States.

As it was a localised, though tragic, event most of the population of the earth survived the tsunami.

A tsunami is like any other natural disaster it ruins everything, but a tsunami only ruins it if you live near the ocean. The ocean because that's where the underwater earthquakes happen and cause tsunamis.

The west coast of the US is more vulnerable to tsunamis than the east coast because tsunamis are more likely to be generated in the Pacific Ocean due to tectonic plate movements along the Ring of Fire. The Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate along the west coast, which can lead to large underwater earthquakes that trigger tsunamis. Additionally, the Pacific Ocean is much deeper than the Atlantic Ocean, allowing tsunamis to travel faster and with more energy.

There are more than 22,000 people unaccounted for at the moment. It is not yet certain how many are dead, and how many were men, women, or children.

The tsunami that struck Japan on March 11, 2011, reached heights of up to 40 meters (131 feet) in some areas, causing widespread devastation along the coast.

You can see a tsunami coming by being aware of earthquake activity that may trigger one or by paying attention to official warnings or alerts issued by meteorological agencies or local authorities. Other signs include a sudden and rapid ocean water retreat, unusual sounds, or the ground shaking that can indicate an imminent tsunami.

The 2011 Japan tsunami was caused by a powerful undersea earthquake off the coast of Tohoku. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a massive displacement of water, resulting in the formation of destructive tsunami waves that struck the Japanese coast. The tsunami waves reached heights of over 40 meters in some areas, causing widespread devastation.

Avalanches occurring in bodies of water such as lakes or fjords can generate tsunami waves. When a large amount of material is rapidly displaced into the water, it can generate a wave that travels across the body of water, leading to a tsunami. However, avalanches on land typically do not directly trigger tsunami waves in the ocean.

The great Asian tsunami, also known as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, occurred on December 26, 2004. It was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, and resulted in widespread devastation across several countries in Asia.

The death toll currently is up to almost 10,000.

It depends on the magnitude of each event. Generally, tsunamis can cause more widespread destruction because they can affect larger areas and cause significant damage along coastlines. However, strong earthquakes can also be incredibly destructive, especially if they occur in densely populated areas or trigger landslides and other secondary hazards.

The 2011 tsunami in Japan lasted for several hours, with waves continuing to cause damage and destruction for an extended period. The initial impact was swift, but the aftermath required ongoing rescue, recovery, and rebuilding efforts.

well, 2010 has only just started, so there would be quite a few, butit's very hard to tell.

Japan has experienced several tsunamis throughout its history, but some notable ones include the Tohoku tsunami in 2011, the Sanriku tsunami in 1896, and the Meiji tsunami in 1854. These tsunamis have caused significant damage and loss of life in Japan.

The 2004 tsunami was one of the most devastating due to its massive scale, affecting multiple countries across the Indian Ocean region. It was triggered by a powerful undersea earthquake, resulting in massive tsunamis that caused widespread destruction and loss of life. The lack of adequate warning systems and preparedness in many areas contributed to the high death toll.

The 2011 Japan tsunami was caused by a 9.0 magnitude undersea earthquake off the coast of Japan. The earthquake triggered a powerful tsunami that devastated coastal areas, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.

I know that silverfish do get into your ears and sometimes your mouth. If it lays eggs in your ears, well, I haven't the slightest clue, but I strongly suggest you don't be the one to find out.

Hi this is crikeyirwin and before taking showers I always spit in the sink I don't know why it's because I am afraid of finding something gross... and boy oh boy when I did some reserch on it and found out it was a silverfish I just got grossed out.

Out of 216,978 population in Samoa 160 people died and 16 people are missing, 9 people in Tonga also died in the same tsunami.

When a Tsunami takes place, the land will be pretty much washed away. So, what happens when a Tusnami recedes? The land will be washed away and the ocean water will take back houses, people, car, buildings etc with it and will be buried below the sea level and in many many many years from now, when someone will come acrsso these houses and cars bodies and attempted to figure old how ancient these ojects/items were, which they will refer to as 'history'.

To answer your question, "what happens when a tsuanmi recedes?" It will take back pretty much everything it initially engulfed.

There are many airports in Japan. The small airport at Sendai was destroyed but all others are still operating.

Hurricanes do not cause tsunamis. The coastal flooding from a hurricane is called the storm surge. This storm surge varies in severity depending on the strength of the storm and the shape of the coastline. The impact may range from minor flooding, to the complete destruction of coastal communities.

The tsunami in Japan in 2011 was a devastating natural disaster that resulted in significant loss of life, infrastructure damage, and environmental impact. It showcased the importance of preparedness, early warning systems, and global collaboration in response to such disasters. The recovery and rebuilding process highlighted the resilience and strength of the Japanese people.

Tsunami are huge because of plate tectonics. When the rocks are trying to move because its tensional and it gets jam its still has energy running through the rocks which is trying to pull apart and when it do it causes a pull in the earth and when it does everything above it moves including the water pushing forward to make land. 10% is the crust, 70% is the mantle, 30% is the lava. when it does the tsunami can be huge because there is no place for the water to go so it goes on and can hit islands what are surrounded are close by.

Despite the incredible muddle what you say is vaguely in the right direction, but does not answer the actual question: the size of a tsunami. That is governed by the speed and volume of the displacement, and can be very small.

What you were trying to describe is subduction of sea-bed crust below the continent forming the coast of a closing ocean. The movement of the sinking slab is not smooth and steady but a series of violent jerks whose vibrations are earthquakes. The largest tsunamis result from the sudden displacement of water by the slip.

Tsunamis can also be thrown up by underwater sediment slides down steep slopes.
