Geology disasters, tsunamis, the physics of tsunamis

Surviving a tsunami contains true stories that illustrate how to survive-and how not to survive-a tsunami. It is meant for people who live, work, or play along coasts that tsunamis may strike. Such coasts surround most of the Pacific Ocean but also include other areas, such as the shores of the Caribbean, eastern Canada, and the Mediterranean

Tsunamis the physics of tsunamis

Tsunamis What are Tsunamis, the phenomenon we call tsunami is a series of large waves of extremely long wavelength and period usually generated by a violent, impulsive undersea disturbance or activity near the coast or in the ocean

Tsunamis and earthquakes earthquakes are commonly associated with ground shaking that is a result of elastic waves traveling through the solid earth. However, near the source of submarine earthquakes, the seafloor is "permanently" uplifted and down-dropped, pushing the entire water column up and down. The potential energy that results from pushing water above mean sea level is then transferred to horizontal propagation of the tsunami wave (kinetic energy)

Tsunami a tsunami is a wave train, or series of waves, generated in a body of water by an impulsive disturbance that vertically displaces the water column. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and even the impact of cosmic bodies, such as meteorites, can generate tsunamis

Tsunami: the great waves the phenomenon we call "tsunami" (soo-NAH-mee) is a series of traveling ocean waves of extremely long length generated by disturbances associated primarily with earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean floor, part of Tsunami library

Tsunamis Sometimes reaching heights of 40 meters (120 ft.) or more, tsunamis are the most dramatic and destructive of waves. Underwater disturbances, such as volcanoes, earthquakes and landslides, are the cause of these monster waves, ...killer waves, pdf file

Tsunamis tsunamis are seismic sea waves. Their name is a Japanese word meaning 'harbour waves'. They are often incorrectly called 'tidal waves' (rare events linked to tides). A tsunami is a series of travelling ocean waves of extremely long length and period. They are caused by under-sea events like earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions; or by other natural events such as ocean meteorite impacts, or large landslides into bays or lakes
