How did you explain the tsunami and its disasters?

Question

i want an essay on tsunami its urgent plzzz quick reply

Answer 1

Tsunami is a One or a series of huge sea waves caused by earthquakes or other large-scale disturbance of the ocean floor.

Tsunami basically generated in sea by submarine earth movements or volcanic eruption.

Tsunami may be as much as 30 meters high and 200 kilometers long, may move as fast as 250 kilometers per hour, and may continue to occur for as long as a few days.

Tsunami is more destructive on sea shore or beach areas than if you are traveling in sea.

Answer 2

I would pray to god that such a name Tsunami won"t be attached to any countries,state,or town too.coz it bring fear and destroy everything.

Answer 4

Tsunami is referred to disturbance in the sea due to an earthquake at the sea bottom.

As you know that earthquakes happen on faults or plate boundaries, if these lie in the sea bed then the massive amount of energy that is released in the sea causes huge waves to travel in all the directions if there is any shore (LAND) nearby then these waves will crash on the shore and depending upon the energy at that moment it will destroy the things that come in it’s way.

Answer 5

It happened in my home town in India,at Nagapattinam on 26 th december-2004.An unforgettable day in our life.I lost one of my best friend who was playing cricket in a play ground near the seashore.Like him so many people lost their Life during the disaster.I can say more than 10,000 people died in my town itself.

Answer 6

words can not describe that !

Answer 7

A tsunami (pronounced /(t)suːˈnɑːmi/) is a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced. Earthquakes, mass movements above or below water, some volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, underwater earthquakes, large asteroid impacts and testing with nuclear weapons at sea all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can be devastating due to the immense volumes of water and energy involved. Since meteorites are small, they will not generate a tsunami.

The Greek historian Thucydides was the first to relate tsunamis to submarine quakes,but understanding of the nature of tsunamis remained slim until the 20th century and is the subject of ongoing research.

Many early geological, geographic, oceanographic etc; texts refer to "Seismic sea waves" - these are now referred to as "tsunami."

Some meteorological storm conditions - deep depressions causing cyclones, hurricanes; can generate a storm surge which can be several meters above normal tide levels. This is due to the low atmospheric pressure within the center of the depression. As these storm surges come ashore the surge can resemble a tsunami, inundating vast areas of land. These are not tsunami. Such a storm surge inundated Burma (Myanmar) in May 2008.

The term tsunami comes from the Japanese meaning harbor ("tsu", æ´¥) and wave ("nami", æ³¢). [a. j*p. tsunami, tunami, f. tsu harbour + nami waves. - Oxford English Dictionary]. For the plural, one can either follow ordinary English practice and add an s, or use an invariable plural as in Japanese. Tsunamis are common throughout Japanese history; approximately 195 events in Japan have been recorded.

A tsunami has a much smaller amplitude (wave height) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometers long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a slight swell usually about 300 mm above the normal sea surface. A tsunami can occur at any state of the tide and even at low tide will still inundate coastal areas if the incoming waves surge high enough.

Tsunamis are often referred to popularly as tidal waves. This term is inaccurate because tsunamis are not related to tides and its use is discouraged by geologists and oceanographers; however, it is worth noting that the term tsunami is no more accurate because tsumanis are not limited to harbours.

The only other language than Japanese that has a word for this disastrous wave is Tamil language and the word is "Aazhi Peralai". South Eastern coasts of India has experienced these waves some 700 years before and was a regular event by that time as per the stone carvings (scriptures in stone) read.

A tsunami can be generated when converging or destructive plate boundaries abruptly move and vertically displace the overlying water. It is very unlikely that they can form at divergent (constructive) or conservative plate boundaries. This is because constructive or conservative boundaries do not generally disturb the vertical displacement of the water column. Subduction zone related earthquakes generate the majority of all tsunamis.
