areas to low lying areas. This means low-lying areas may flood quickly before it begins to get to higher ground. Flooding is extremely dangerous and has the potential to wipe away an entire city, coastline or area, and cause extensive damage to life and property. It also has great erosive power and can be extremely destructive, even if it is a foot high. A tsunami (pronounced sue-nahm-ee) is a series of huge waves that can cause great devastation and loss of life when they strike a coast. Tsunamis are caused by an underwater earthquake, a volcanic eruption, an sub-marine rockslide, or, more rarely, by an asteroid or meteoroid crashing into in the water from space. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, but not all underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis - an earthquake has to be over about magnitude 6.75 on the Richter scale for it to cause a tsunami. About 90 percent of all tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean.
over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of water can cause widespread destruction when they crash ashore. WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI? These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami. WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI? Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth’s ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean. TSUNAMI Can race up to 805 kilometers an hour. At that pace, they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.

I ´d never seen anything like it. I began to run for my life-I knew something was wrong. The rumbling noise, the raising water, just didn´t make sense. As I ran inland the sea seemed to be roaring in the background.“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l-fBxtGFrA 0.37-end Thanks for listening!!

Ilmvõimatu "Ilmvõimatu" on 2012. aasta tõsielu lool põhinev katastroofidraama, mis põhineb ühe perekonna ellujäämise lool 2004. aasta India ookeani tsunamis. Filmi rezissöör on Juan Antonio Bayona. Filmi läksin vaatama, sest olin just mõned päevad enne seda tagasi tulnud Phuketi saarelt. Olin isegi samas rannas, Patong'i rannas, mis sai kõige suuremaid kahjustusi tänu 2004. aastal toimunud tsunamile. Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) ja nende kolm poega lähevad talvepuhkusele Taisse ning ootavad väga eelseisvaid päevi troopilises paradiisis. Kuid 26. detsembri
Peruus registreeriti laine kõrguseks kuni poolteist meetrit; see kahjustas enam kui 300 maja. Tšiilis ulatus tsunami kõrgus kolme meetrini. Teel üle Vaikse ookeani ujutas tsunami praktiliselt täielikult üle mitmed väikesaared; näiteks Midway atolli kaitsealal hävitas pooleteise meetri kõrgune tõusuvesi enam kui 100 000 pesitseva veelinnu pesad. Kuigi tsunami teele jäävad väikesaared võivad kergesti sattuda vee alla, on neist üle liikuvas tsunamis vee liikumiskiirus tagasihoidlik. Nendel saartel, mis on palju väiksemad kui laine pikkus (avaookeanis 100 km ringis), tõuseb vesi lihtsalt viie- kümne minuti jooksul üks-kaks meetrit üle normaaltaseme ja langeb siis tagasi tavalisele nivoole. Muidugi saavad kannatada kerged ehitised ja hukkub palju väikeloomi, kuid ökosüsteem tervikuna jääb püsima. Märksa rohkem saavad kannatada saared ja saarestikud, mis paiknevad suurematel madalaveelistel
T h e direction the energy is flowing in alternating current electrical systems flips back and forth from posi tive to negative fifty or sixty times a second, while the magnetic fields of heavenly bodies reverse polarity infrequendy but on some mysterious timetable. For reasons that are poorly understood, the giant magnetic field of the sun reverses its polarity every eleven years or so, generating immense storms of radiation that wash over the earth like invisible tsunamis and disrupt communications and electronics worldwide. Scientists believe the magnetic field of the Earth has flipped poles many times over thousands of years, presumably making magnets and compasses point south for much of the lifetime of the planet. Reversals of polarity on this giant scale seem to be part of the life cycle of stars and planets, like a gigantic heartbeat. Such reversals are also part of the life cycle of a story.
