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

2004 Boxing Day Tsunami 1. Explain the causes of the 2004 boxing day Tsunami (6) A Tsunami forms when energy from an earthquake vertically jolts the seabed by several metres‚ displacing hundreds of cubic kilometres of water. Large waves begin moving through the ocean‚ away from the earthquakes epicentre. In deep water the Tsunami moves at great speeds. When it reaches shallow water near coastal areas‚ the Tsunami slows but increases in height. Before the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 the waterline

Rogue Waves For centuries‚ mariners have spread stories about giant sudden waves which appeared out of nowhere without warning which were strong enough to capsize even the mightiest and largest ships. Several vessels—such as the S.S. Waratah‚ the M.S. Munchen‚ and the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald—were all rumored to have been sunk by rogue waves (Walsh par. 3). Further‚ rogue waves have been blamed for ripping the bow off of a Norwegian freighter near the tip of South Africa in 1974‚ almost capsizing

Surface Waves: Understanding its movements I. Introduction We treat here an important wave phenomenon‚ the surface wave. It occurs in many physical systems both mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical surface waves can exist at the interface between two media with different densities such as the oceans and air. Ordinary sea waves and tsunamis are surface waves. Seismic events can produce both longitudinal and shear waves at the earth’s surface‚ resulting in earthquakes. Electromagnetic surface
