Tsunamis‚ the ins and outs What is a tsunami? Tsunamis (Japanese for “Harbor Wave”) are series of waves that are characterized by their massive wavelengths‚ often about 120 miles long‚ whereas a normal wave has one of about 333 feet‚ and destruction that they bring when they hit land. They are often called tidal waves‚ but incorrectly so. They have virtually nothing to do with the tides. Tsunamis can range from a few feet in height to over a hundred feet

The Causes of Tsunami All tsunamis are caused by the sudden displacement of large volumes of water. All are the result of violent events with enough power to displace large volumes very rapidly. Moreover‚ Tsunamis are often referred to high waves of water caused by changes in the flow and surge of the ocean. On the other hand‚ Tsunamis can be caused by a few different factors‚ which are an earthquake‚ a large-scale undersea landslide‚ a submarine volcanic eruption (Cause of Tsunami‚ n.d.).

Multiple Wave Damage * Tsunamis arrive with multiple waves‚ with the stronger ones typically arriving after the first one hits. Given the shape of the underwater shore‚ significant amounts of water get pushed upward and higher at the coast‚ allowing the tidal water to flow higher than it normally would. Anything that is loose on the ground gets swept up and bounced around like cork. Because water is so heavy as a mass‚ it can move cars‚ wood‚ metal‚ cement‚ and debris. All of this material with

harming everything in their paths. If this action happens undersea‚ another disaster can take place: a tsunami. Sometimes known as a killer wave‚ this huge surge of water is the product of two forces colliding. Earthquakes‚ when mixed with the ocean‚ can have a devastating effect on structure and society. An earthquake can cause buildings to fall‚ start a fire‚ and block roadways‚ as well as start a tsunami. Together‚ these forces can destroy homes‚ leaving many people homeless. Those who still have their

off the coast of Indonesia near the city of Banda Ache. The earthquake caused the Indonesian plate to suddenly jolt upwards at least 5metres. The sudden movement of the plate under the sea caused the giant wave called a tsunami (5-40metres high). Primary Effects The tsunami travelled at speed across the Indian ocean affecting at least 12 nations‚ with Indonesia suffering the greatest damage. In all‚ close to 250‚000 people died with millions homeless. In Aceh close to the epicentre‚ 131‚000
