A tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water‚ generally an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes‚ volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices)‚ landslides‚ glacier calvings‚ meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.[3] Tsunami waves do not resemble normal sea waves‚ because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing

Primary Effects occur as a result of the process itself. For example water damage during a flood or collapse of buildings during an earthquake‚ landslide‚ or hurricane. Secondary Effects occur only because a primary effect has caused them. For example‚ fires ignited as a result of earthquakes‚ disruption of electrical power and water service as a result of an earthquake‚ flood‚ or hurricane‚ or flooding caused by a landslide into a lake or river. Tertiary Effects are long-term effects that are set

that injects millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ and chemicals under hi pressure into a well‚ cracking the rock to release natural gases and oil. It is beginning to become scientifically linked to creating earthquakes by aggravating the faults. But before we talk about how it is causing earthquakes‚ we must first go into detail on the complete process of fracking. Fracking site drills 6000ft through aquifer toward shell – then drill horizontally which can reach up to 4000ft. Then a specific tool

Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these margins are tectonically extremely active and are associated with powerful‚ considerable magnitude‚ earthquakes‚ being the sites of extensive shallow focus earthquakes. Transfer faults are mainly found on the ocean floor‚ where they offset mid ocean ridges and enable the ocean floor to spread at different rates. At conservative plate boundaries‚ there are very few features to be seen

A natural calamity can cause loss of life or property damage‚ and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake‚ the severity of which depends on the affected population’s resilience‚ or ability to recover. A natural calamity are the side effects or the after effects of natural issues or hazards like flood‚ volcanic erosion‚ land slide or earthquake which will lead to the human‚ monetary and environmental
