The document discusses earthquakes and tsunamis, their causes and effects. Earthquakes are caused by shifting tectonic plates and can damage structures, cause landslides and flash floods. Tsunamis are large sea waves typically caused by underwater earthquakes that can damage property, cause flooding and loss of life. The document recommends remedies like responsible planning, seismic retrofitting and high seawalls to minimize damage from these disasters.

3. Earthquake
• A violent tremor in the earth’s crust, sending out a
series of shock waves in all directions from its place
of origin or epicenter.
CAUSE-
• When two tectonic plates comes in contact with one
another.

4. Effects
• Damage to human structures
• Landslides
• Flash floods(Dams)
• Deformation of ground surface
• Tsunami
• Soil Liquefaction

10. Tsunami
• a long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other
disturbance
• Japanese, from tsu ‘harbour’ + nami ‘wave’.
CAUSE-
By a strong earthquake on the ocean bed

11. Effects
• Damaging property
• Loss of life
• Flooding and contamination of drinking water
• Environmental impacts
Solid wastes and disaster debris
Radiation from nuclear plants
• Psychological effect
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD)

16. Remedies
Responsible planning
Resist the temptation to build on soft, water-saturated
foundations
Using rubber or steel pads to isolate the structure
Seismic retrofitting
High Seawalls

19. Conclusion
• Effect of these disasters are very severe which cause a
huge loss of lives and destruction.
• Tsunami is a naturally occurring event for which we have
to rely upon the tsunami warning system.
• Earthquake effect can be minimized with proper planned
design structures.
• Relief programs should be conducted immediately after
these events.
