3.  DEFINITION: A TSUNAMI is a series of water waves caused by the
displacement of a large volume of a body of water, typically an ocean or a large
lake.
 GENERATION MECHANISM (CAUSE) OFTSUNAMI.
• The principal generation mechanism (or cause) of a tsunami is the displacement of a
substantial volume of water or perturbation of the sea.
 SEISMICITY
 LANDSLIDES.
 METEOTSUNAMI
6/17/20133

4.  Travel at speeds of up to 400-500 miles per hour
 In deep waters, tsunamis are low and wide, often less than three feet high
 As much as 95 miles between the crest of one wave and the next.
 Can reach up to heights of 100 feet or more and crash inland.
 When the wave enters shallow water, it slows down and its amplitude (height) increases.
 While everyday wind waves have a wavelength (from crest to crest) of about 100 metres
(330 ft) and a height of roughly 2 metres (6.6 ft), a tsunami in the deep ocean has a
wavelength of about 200 kilometres (120 mi).

DISASTER MANAGEMENT :it can be defined as the organization and management of
resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in
particular preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of disasters.

6/17/201339

40.  one-third of the total dead and 2406 were women. The high death toll of children
and women highlighted the fact that Tsunami had caught people unawares.

tsunami struck at a time when most of them were in the shore receiving their men
folk returning from the sea. Added to this was the fact that it was a day after the
Christmas and a Sunday morning, which had a large number of people, enjoying
the morning breeze.
