information on the danger waves tsunami

1. THE DANGER WAVES

2. A
tsunami is a series of water waves
caused by the displacement of a large
volume of a body of water, generally an
ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions and other underwater
explosions (including detonations of
underwater nuclear devices), landslides,
glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and
other disturbances above or below water
all have the potential to generate a
tsunami.

3. How tsunamis are originated
A tsunami is a series of large
waves generated by an abrupt
movement on the ocean floor
that can result from an
earthquake, an underwater
landslide, a volcanic eruption or
- very rarely - a large meteorite
strike.

4. The
after effects of a tsunami
include both physical and mental
disruption both to the affected
and those not affected. Tsunamis
also cause destruction and
damage, death, harm, millions in
financial loss, and long lasting
emotional problems for the
inhabitants of the region affected.

6. How can be the effects of Tsunami
reduced
 Dense mangrove habitats reduce the force of
waves and reduce the pressure.
 Coral reefs may be artificially constructed: these
have been shown to reduce the impact of
tsunamis.
 Better education of residents about evacuation
procedures. In conjunction with this, early
warning systems need to be devised.
 Building settlements further inland and away from
the lowest-lying regions also reduce the impact
on people" if people do not live there. impact is

Two years on from the Great East Japan earthquake
and tsunami, thousands of survivors have benefited
from a variety of programmes carried out by the
Japanese Red Cross Society ranging from caring for
the psychosocial needs of the elderly to the
reconstruction of major hospitalIn the immediate
aftermath of the disaster, Japanese Red Cross
medical teams deployed from their network of
hospitals across the country, treated nearly 90,000
people. Since then, much of the focus for the Red
Cross has been on providing welfare services; this
includes help for 135,000 displaced families
resettled into temporary homes that were provided
with a package of household electrical appliances.

Jakarta: A tsunami watch was issued for countries
across the Indian Ocean after a 8.6-magnitude
earthquake, the eight worst in the last 100 years, hit
waters off Indonesia on Wednesday, triggering
widespread panic as residents along coastlines fled
to high ground in cars and on the backs of
motorcycles. But earthquake and tsunami experts say
that quake was horizontal and not vertical, lessening
the threat of tsunamis. The National Disaster
Management Authority in India said that there was no
likelihood of tsunami being formed anywhere in the
Indian Ocean.

11.  The US Geological Survey said the 8.6-magnitude
quake was centered 20 miles (33 kilometers)
beneath the ocean floor around 269 miles (434
kilometers) from Aceh's provincial capital.
 The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii
said a tsunami watch was in effect for Indonesia,
India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Myanmar, Thailand,
the Maldives and other Indian Ocean islands,
Malaysia, Pakistan, Somalia, Oman, Iran,
Bangladesh, Kenya, South Africa and Singapore.
