It occured in the afternoon and the resulting tsunami affected southern Chile‚ Hawaii‚ Japan‚ the Philippines‚ eastern New Zealand‚ southeast Australia‚ and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. The epicenter of the Valdivia earthquake was near Lumaco‚ a coastal city with a population of roughly 11‚405. Various estimates of the total number of fatalities from the earthquake and tsunamis have been published‚ with the USGS citing studies with figures of 2‚231; 3‚000;

and tsunami last year. A city in the region reported that a small tsunami had hit‚ but there were no reports of injuries or damage. The Japan Meteorological Agency said the earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 and struck in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Miyagi prefecture at 5:18 p.m. (0318 Eastern). The epicenter was 6.2 miles beneath the seabed. After the quake‚ which caused buildings in Tokyo to sway for at least several minutes‚ authorities issued a warning that a tsunami potentially

This was New Zealand second worst ever earthquake. A tsunami was created by the Tasman Glacier sliding into the ocean creating a wave 11 feet high. There was also some liquefaction and some occurrences of landslides which were debris slides. It had opened up a new rupture which was 8 x 8km in size. It was a

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 the thesis statement although some may have different opinions according to their different point of views‚ but it is recommended that RTerg should be properly placed and people that operate RTerg should be properly trained

What is EEW? The Earthquake Early warning (EEW) will give advanced warning to those who will experience a tsunami. All earthquakes produce a series of different types of shock waves‚ which travel at different speeds and carry different amounts of energy. The fastest shock waves‚ and the first to arrive‚ are called P waves. These travel about twice as fast as the next fastest shock waves and rarely cause any damage. The next shock waves to arrive are called Shear waves (or S waves)‚ followed by

the area knew to expect a tsunami and most evacuated the coast immediately. The earthquake caused huge landslides of debris down the mountains of the region‚ as well as a series of tsunamis in the coastal region of Chile. The shock is generally agreed to have had a magnitude of 9.5‚ though some studies alternately proposed that it may have been 9.4 or 9.6. The epicenter was near Valdivia‚ Chile some 700 kilometers south of Santiago. It caused localized tsunamis that severely battered the

A natural disaster 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.[1] An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without
