TSUNAMI’S

April 11, 2008

                                                        Tsunami.  

      Interesting facts:                

 1.     These tremors and shakes, what is caused by earthquakes, underneath the sea. Then a series of large waves that spread thousands of kilometres over several hours, moving through the ocean away from the earthquake’s epicentre or the middle rapture of the plate. This creates the beginning of a Tsunami and journey of Tsunami is on its way moving in force of waves to an open large wave. 

2.     The shifting of the ocean floor underneath the sea causes a giant wave called a Tsunami. This is not a normal wave of the sea, it is more powerful energy wave that stretches out in a band of water from the sea floor, coming towards the surface of the island.

 3.     A person may know if a Tsunami is heading forward or coming. When the fish flops with force and the boats are standard in different parts of the sea, with a thunder and a deafening sounds like a roar noise, the Tsunami moves up like a moving mountain of the ocean sea. That comes crushing into shore or coastal land, with an unimaginal force. That is when a Tsunami has hit land because of the disaster it has caused. The death’s human, the damages to culture and land. 

4.     These huge rocks or tectonic plates (flat rock) move very slowly and rub together. These rocks meet an fault underneath the earth’s plates an earthquake occur then the movement forces waves of energy that comes together a form of a wave moving or heading towards the earth’s surface.

    Hi Sarah!
    That’s a interesting post about Tsunamis.
    Yes, most of the time a person would know when a tsunami is coming!
    There are a lot of signs and on one of the ones I found was the most interesting was that when you are at the beach and you can hear sucking noises.
    Not just natural things can cause tsunami’s- but even man made things can. Testing nuclear weapons in the sea also gives a potential and chance of a tsunami happening or going to come!

    Hi Sarah,
    WOW :!:
    That was so interesting :!:
    You know how they call tsunamis “Tidal Waves”. Well I think they call them that because when a tsunami is coming the tide goes in and out at a rapid speed, like it is changing tides.
