Japan Tsunami and Earthquake Sion Hau 7D 31/07/11 An earthquake occurred in Sendai‚ Japan on the 11th of March in 2011; this earthquake also resulted in a tsunami. The earthquake measured at magnitude 8.9-9.0 on the Richter scale‚ the scale is measured in powers of ten (e.g. magnitude 2.0 is ten times more than magnitude 1.0). Japan sits on the Ring of Fire (an area encircling Pacific Ocean that has high volcanic and earthquake

2011 The Hilo Bay: Tsunami Magnet of Hawaii On the afternoon of 22 May 1960 the Valdivia Earthquake struck the country of Chile with devastating repercussions for the Chilean people and people around the world. The Earthquake rated a 9.5 on the moment magnitude scale and is‚ to date‚ the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. It occurred at roughly 1911 GMT‚ 1411 local time‚ and generated a massive tsunami that struck Hawaii approximately fifteen hours later. The tsunami caused little damage

What are tsunamis‚ and how can we decrease deaths among the human population? Tsunamis are created when underwater tectonic plates rub up against each other creating potential energy and then when they shift‚ the potential energy turns into kinetic energy which create a very fast wave. Geoscience helps us to better understand them through many ways. Once a tsunami starts‚ they won’t stop because of all the energy but there are ways to warn people about them through the uses of geoscience. First

Tornadoes and tsunamis both are two natural disasters. Both Tsunamis and tornadoes are formed by nature but‚ they form differently and have different destruction levels. Tornadoes and Tsunamis are formed by natural weather. Not normal weather though‚ they are formed by other nature freaks and non-normal weather. They also create massive destruction in different ways. They are both very interesting topics on the way they form and their destruction. Tornadoes and Tsunamis are both natural disasters

TSUNAMI Tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water‚ typically an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes‚ volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices)‚ landslides‚ glacier calving’s meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami are devastating. They are one of the world’s worst natural disasters that

a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that destroyed Japan and surrounding states. The tsunami was formed by an earthquake underwater. Underwater earthquakes happen because of the collision of plates and it causes the fault line to slide‚ when a force pushes the water upwards that causes many tsunamis which gradually increases till they strike land or shallow water. This in this case happened to Japan. Before this major tsunami happened in Japan many people didn’t know that they had a magnitude of 5 or higher
