Tsunamis are series of ocean waves caused by underwater seismic activity or volcanic activity. Several countries all around the world are being affected by this type of natural disaster and even though usually small tsunamis do not cause much damage‚ the giant waves are a threat.

be said about natural disasters in today’s time. A natural disaster is defined in Webster’s Dictionary as‚ “any form of nature that has catastrophic consequence‚ such as an avalanche‚ earthquake‚ flood‚ forest fire‚ hurricane‚ lighting‚ tornado‚ tsunami or volcanic eruption.” Many times the people affected by such an event take a backseat to the actually disaster itself. Why is that? Why is it that certain parts of the world‚ when hit by a natural disaster‚ seem to be more devastated by it than the

Describe the characteristics and explain the causes‚ of tsunamis. (8 marks) A Tsunami is a large and potentially destructive sea wave often produced by a submarine earthquake‚ subsidence or an underwater volcanic eruption. They occur when a large volume of water is displaced in the ocean. The characteristics of tsunamis differ slightly from normal sea waves. For one‚ they often have extremely long wave lengths‚ in deep water an initial wavelength can be up to 100km. Their amplitude contrasts with

Two scientific advances which are RTerg and ultra-low-power digital memory have differences and similarities that were analyzed from 6 different internet resources. RTerg contribute more in human progress compared to the ultra-low-power digital memory because it can reduce death toll caused by tsunami. This research confirmed

since 1900. A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard including tornadoes‚ tsunamis‚ and earthquakes and more. Those natural disasters can lead to financial‚ environmental‚ and human losses. The ten deadliest natural disasters of the past century in order are the China Floods in 1931‚ the Tangshan Earthquake in 1976‚ the Bhola Cyclone in 1970‚ the Haiyuan earthquake in 1920‚ the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004‚ the Haiti Earthquake in 2010‚ the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923‚ the Cyclone
