Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and other disturbances can cause tsunamis by displacing large amounts of water. Tsunamis are a series of long sea waves that can travel across entire oceans within hours. Three-quarters of tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean due to high seismic activity along subduction zones that make up the Pacific Ring of Fire. When tsunamis reach land, they can devastate coastal areas by destroying homes and infrastructure and endangering human life. On average, two tsunamis occur globally each year, with about 80% originating in the Pacific Ocean.

Earthquakes powerpoint
The document discusses earthquakes, including their causes, measurement, effects, and preparedness. Earthquakes occur due to the sudden release of built-up stress along fault lines in the earth's crust, causing seismic waves. Their magnitude is measured using scales like the Richter scale or moment magnitude scale. Earthquakes can damage infrastructure and the environment through ground shaking and secondary events like tsunamis or landslides. While earthquakes cannot be prevented, preparation through emergency planning and building design can reduce risks.
Earthquake powerpoint
An earthquake occurs when two blocks of the earth's crust slip past one another, causing the ground to shake. Most earthquakes happen along the edges of tectonic plates that slowly move and bump against each other deep underground. Earthquakes can cause massive damage and loss of life, such as the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake in China that killed over 800,000 people. Modern solutions aim to better predict, withstand, and prepare for earthquakes to minimize harm.

An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of built-up energy along fault lines in the earth's crust. Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and fault lines, especially around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Earthquakes can cause tremendous damage through ground shaking and secondary effects like tsunamis. Recent major quakes in Nepal and Japan killed over 9,000 and led to widespread destruction. While earthquakes can't be prevented, communities can take steps to minimize damage by strengthening buildings and infrastructure and preparing emergency plans.

GEOGRAPHY IGCSE: EARTHQUAKES
1. An earthquake occurs when built-up tension along fault lines in the Earth's crust is suddenly released, causing the ground to shake.
2. The effects of an earthquake depend on several factors, including its magnitude on the Richter scale, distance from the epicenter, and the level of development in the affected area.
3. The 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan caused over 30,000 injuries, left over 300,000 homeless as buildings collapsed, and led to long-term economic and social impacts as the city was rebuilt.
Causes, Effects and Precautions against Earthquake
1. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates deep below the Earth's surface. As the plates shift and grind against each other, they release energy in the form of seismic waves.
2. Major earthquakes can cause widespread damage to infrastructure like buildings, bridges and dams, resulting in loss of life and property. They can also trigger secondary hazards such as landslides, tsunamis and fires.
3. Pakistan is prone to earthquakes, with major fault lines running along its western border. Some of the deadliest quakes in the country's history include the 2005 Kashmir earthquake that killed over 80,000 people and the 2013 Balochistan earthquake that killed 825.
Earthquake in Bangladesh
Geologically active faults within 50 to 500km distance from Dhaka. Dhaka is among the 20 major world cities that are the greatest risk from earthquakes. Some of these earthquakes especially the 1762, 1812, 1865, 1885 and 1897 happened in Dhaka. If 7-8 grade in Richter Scale earthquake happen in Dhaka 70-80 percent concrete structures would just collapse and 30,00,000 peoples will die.

Causes and Effects of Earthquakes
Earthquakes are caused by slow movements within the Earth as it continues to cool. Some human activities like constructing dams, extracting groundwater, fracking, and building skyscrapers can also induce earthquakes by adding stress that destabilizes existing faults. Earthquakes have both primary effects of immediate damage through collapsing buildings, and secondary effects like tsunamis, landslides, fires, disease outbreaks, and soil liquefaction that prolong suffering after the initial quake.
Earthquake ppt
1) Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy from movement along geological faults in the earth's crust, generating seismic waves.
2) Larger earthquakes can trigger tsunamis if located offshore by displacing seabed, as well as landslides and volcanic eruptions.
3) Earthquake shaking causes loss of life and property destruction from building collapse and landslides burying infrastructure.
Natural disaster
1) A natural disaster is defined as a natural hazard that causes significant financial and human losses through its impact on the environment. Examples include floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and epidemics.
2) Natural disasters occur when natural hazards intersect with vulnerabilities in human systems. Major causes are seismic activity, soil erosion, and the greenhouse effect.
3) Natural disasters can be categorized as either hydrometeorological, involving atmospheric/hydrological phenomena like floods and storms, or geological, involving earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides.
Disaster Management Earthquake by ujjwal patel
This document provides information about earthquakes and disaster management. It defines an earthquake as the sudden release of energy in the earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused by movements in tectonic plates and faults in the earth's surface. Disaster management involves preparing for disasters, emergency response during disasters, and recovery after disasters. The effects of earthquakes can include loss of life, property damage, and disruption to infrastructure and economic activities. Proper safety measures during and after earthquakes can help reduce risks to people.
Tsunamis charlie & jay
Tsunamis are mostly caused by large earthquakes on the seafloor when slabs of rock move past each other suddenly, causing the overlying water to move. While 80% occur in the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire" due to tectonic activity, they can also be triggered by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. Tsunamis initially appear as small waves but grow dramatically in size and can cause huge destruction when hitting coastlines, destroying property, infrastructure, and leaving over 200,000 people dead across 14 countries according to records.
All about earthquakes!
Earthquakes are caused by both natural and human factors. Naturally, they result from the slow buildup of pressure along tectonic plate boundaries. Human causes include coal mining, construction of tall buildings, and dams. There are four main types of earthquakes classified by their origin. Earthquakes produce different types of seismic waves that cause damage. Mitigation efforts aim to reduce risks through regulations, education, and preparedness. At personal and government levels, precautions include earthquake-proof building techniques, emergency plans, and response coordination. Scientists study various prediction methods but cannot reliably forecast specific quakes. Developing countries often experience greater losses due to infrastructure and resources. Historic quakes in Haiti, San Francisco, and Chile caused
Earthquake and tsunami
1) An earthquake is intense ground shaking caused by a sudden release of energy, often due to movement along faults within the Earth.
2) Earthquake magnitude is measured by the Richter Scale, where each whole number increase means the amplitude of shaking is 10 times greater. Magnitude 2.5 or less quakes are usually not felt, while anything above 8 can totally destroy communities near the epicenter.
3) Intensity refers to the amount of damage at a location and is measured by scales like Modified Mercalli, depending on factors like distance from the quake and duration of shaking.
Earthquake and its impact
The key factors that influence how hazardous an earthquake can be are:
1. The magnitude of the earthquake, with larger earthquakes causing more damage.
2. The distance from the earthquake's epicenter, with those closer experiencing greater shaking.
3. The population density of the affected area, increasing risks to human life and infrastructure in more populated locations.
4. The level of preparedness, as damage is reduced when populations have taken measures to prepare for earthquakes.
Earthquakes by hayleigh and bodelle
Over 15,000 earthquakes have occurred in New Zealand. When two parts of the Earth's surface move suddenly along a fault line due to tectonic forces, an earthquake occurs. Earthquakes can cause massive damage through shaking and collapsing buildings, which then must be rebuilt. Most earthquakes happen along the boundaries of tectonic plates, which move due to convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
Cyclones,quentin
Cyclones are the most destructive storms in the world. Typhoon Tip, which occurred in the Pacific in 1979, remains the largest and most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded. Cyclones form from clusters of strong thunderstorms and have an eye surrounded by an eyewall that is the calmest area with low pressure and no rain. They are most common in ocean regions like the Pacific, where around 15 occur each year, and can cause major economic damage, like Hurricane Katrina which cost nearly $1 billion.
3.4.1 Earthquake Hazards
The document discusses tectonic plate processes and earthquakes. It describes how earthquakes occur at plate boundaries due to stresses from plate movements. Earthquakes at divergent boundaries pose little risk while those at convergent boundaries can be very hazardous, as seen in the 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed over 10,000 people. The document also discusses earthquake measurement scales, the different types of seismic waves, and secondary hazards like tsunamis, landslides and liquefaction that can amplify earthquake damage.
Earthquakes and tsunamis
1. Earthquakes occur along fault lines when rocks under stress suddenly break, releasing vibrations known as seismic waves.
2. The focus is the underground origin of the earthquake, directly above which is the epicenter where shaking is most intense.
3. Seismologists use the Richter scale to measure an earthquake's magnitude based on the height of the waves recorded by a seismograph.
When the earth shook
The document discusses earthquakes, including what causes them, the Richter scale for measuring their strength, and safety tips. It notes that earthquakes occur when tectonic plates suddenly slip, releasing energy in the form of shock waves. The Richter scale is used to describe the magnitude of earthquakes on a logarithmic scale. Larger numbers indicate stronger quakes that can cause greater damage to structures. The document advises that during an earthquake, one should drop, cover, and hold on to protect oneself.
Earthquake Presentation
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth's surface. When the plates shift and release stress, seismic waves propagate outward from the epicenter. Scientists measure the intensity of earthquakes using the Richter scale. During an earthquake, it is important to drop, cover, and hold on underneath sturdy furniture to protect oneself from falling debris.
What are Earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused by the buildup and sudden release of energy along fault lines in the earth's crust. The crust consists of massive tectonic plates that are slowly moving and building up tension over time. When the pressure between plates grows too great, the fault lines suddenly slip, causing the plates to shift. This movement releases seismic waves that radiate outward, shaking the ground and structures on the surface and causing earthquakes.

Natural Calamities
The document defines and describes four natural calamities: earthquake, tornado, tsunami, and flood. Earthquakes are sudden violent ground shaking caused by crustal or volcanic movements. Tornadoes are destructive rotating funnel clouds under large storms. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by earthquakes or other disturbances. Floods occur when rivers receive excess water from rain or disasters, causing overflow onto surrounding land.
Earthquakes - It's Causes And Effects
Earthquakes are caused by movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action. There are several types of earthquakes including tectonic, volcanic, collapse, and explosion earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes occur due to geological forces on rocks and plates, volcanic earthquakes are induced by movement of magma, collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns, and explosion earthquakes result from nuclear or chemical explosions. Earthquakes are a natural result of the earth cooling, but human activities like dams, groundwater extraction, geothermal plants, and injection wells can also induce quakes. Earthquakes cause both primary effects like collapsed buildings that kill people directly, and secondary effects like tsunamis, landslides,

Earthquake 1
The document provides information about natural disasters, specifically earthquakes and tropical cyclones. It defines earthquakes and tropical cyclones, describes their causes and effects, and lists measures to minimize damage. For example, it explains that earthquakes are caused by plate tectonic movement and can cause infrastructure damage, while tropical cyclones derive energy from warm ocean waters and can bring strong winds and flooding to coastal areas.
Tsunami
1) Tsunamis are a series of massive ocean waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteorite impacts underneath or near the ocean.
2) Tsunamis have extremely long wavelengths and periods, allowing them to travel hundreds of miles per hour across the ocean with barely a visible wave, but grow drastically in size and power as they reach shore.
3) Warning signs of an impending tsunami include strong earthquakes near coastal areas, an unusual rapid retreat or advancement of ocean water from the shoreline, and a series of surging water waves rather than a single wave.

This document summarizes information about tsunamis from multiple sources. It discusses how the 2004 Sumatra earthquake generated a tsunami that killed over 280,000 people due to the lack of an early warning system in the Indian Ocean. It then provides definitions and characteristics of tsunamis, explaining how their long wavelengths allow them to travel vast distances with little energy loss. As they reach shallow coastal waters, their speed decreases while height increases due to shoaling. Tsunamis can be generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, explosions, and meteorite impacts, with most caused by displacement of the seafloor during subduction zone earthquakes.

tsunami destructive wave
Tsunamis are caused by displacement of large volumes of water, usually due to earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions or other seismic events. Tsunamis have long wavelengths and can travel at high speeds across oceans before slowing down and growing taller near coastlines, sometimes resembling a rapidly rising tide. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries due to the immense destructive power of tsunamis, which can devastate entire coastal areas through high-speed wall of water and dragging debris back out to sea. Modern technology has enabled the development of tsunami-proof buildings that are elevated on deep foundations and designed for easy water flow to withstand such events.

Tsunamis are caused by large displacements of water, usually in oceans, that can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or meteorite impacts. While tsunamis have extremely long wavelengths and periods in deep ocean waters, they can travel very fast at over 600 mph. When they reach shallow coastal waters, their energy causes the sea level to rise dramatically and flood inland areas. Proper planning, awareness of warning signs and evacuation routes can help minimize damage and save lives during a tsunami.
Tsunami
Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions or meteor impacts. While hardly noticeable at sea, tsunami waves grow enormously in size as they reach shorelines, causing devastating damage. Tsunami inundation refers to how far inland tsunami waves penetrate, which varies in each location and is determined by bathymetry, topography, and other geological factors. Common signs of approaching tsunamis include earthquakes, receding or suddenly surging water, and unnatural ocean sounds. Immediate evacuation to high ground can save lives when these signs are noticed.

Tsunami
This document discusses tsunamis, including their causes, characteristics, and safety precautions. Tsunamis are caused primarily by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteor impacts under water. They can travel at high speeds and have successive waves that increase in height. Regions at greatest risk include areas along the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire." To stay safe during a tsunami, people should move to higher ground, listen to emergency information, and never go to the shore to watch a tsunami.
Tsunami nature’s fury
Tsunamis are caused by large displacements of water, often due to underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or explosions. While tsunamis have small amplitudes offshore, their wavelengths are very long. As they approach shore and water depths decrease, their speeds slow down while amplitudes grow tremendously, sometimes taking the form of a step-like wave. Drawbacks occur when the first part of a tsunami to reach land is a trough rather than a crest, causing a dramatic water recession that can expose normally submerged areas. Brief drawbacks can serve as warnings to immediately evacuate. While tsunamis cannot be precisely predicted, automated monitoring systems provide warnings after earthquakes to save lives.
Natural disasters
This document defines and describes natural disasters including tsunamis. It states that a tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, usually in an ocean. Tsunamis are most commonly caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, underwater explosions, and meteorite impacts. While tsunamis have a long wavelength and period in deep water, making them difficult to detect, they can travel very quickly across oceans at over 600 mph, taking only a few hours to cross an entire ocean.

Tsunami is a Japanese word Tsu means ‘harbour’ and nami means ‘wave’.
They are called tidal waves but they have actually nothing to do with the tides. However their appearance from shore is similar to rapidly rising or falling tides.
Tsunami is a series of wave created when water is moved very quickly.
Tsunami is gravity wave system, triggered by vertical disturbances in ocean. They are long waves sometime with hundreds of miles b/w their crests, just like the concentric waves generated by an object dropped into a pool.

Tsunami
Tsunami are large sea waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides under the sea. They are difficult to detect in deep water due to their extremely long wavelengths. When they reach shore, they can cause devastating damage through their immense force and volume of water. Countermeasures include maintaining tsunami detection equipment, educating people on evacuation procedures, constructing seawalls, and being especially alert after strong earthquakes.

This presentation discusses the causes of tsunamis. Tsunamis are most commonly caused by large underwater earthquakes that displace massive amounts of water. Other potential causes mentioned include volcanic eruptions, underwater landslides, and meteor impacts. The key details provided are that underwater earthquakes must be around a 7.0 magnitude or larger to trigger a tsunami by vertically displacing ocean water. Volcanic eruptions and landslides can also displace water if large enough.

Natural disasters such as cyclones, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods, landslides, droughts, waterspouts and wildfires are some of the most damaging hazards that can occur. Cyclones have strong rotating winds and develop over warm ocean waters, while earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that can reach wind speeds over 300 mph. Volcanic eruptions violently eject lava, ash and gases from volcanic vents. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by underwater seismic events that can flood coastal areas.
A presentation on earthquake
This document provides information about earthquakes. It discusses that earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy stored in the Earth's crust along fault lines. Major earthquakes usually occur along belts that coincide with tectonic plate boundaries, particularly the Circum-Pacific Belt. Earthquakes can also be caused by human activities like reservoir construction. The effects of earthquakes include ground shaking, rupture, landslides, tsunamis, liquefaction, and fires. The document outlines safety rules both before, during, and after an earthquake to minimize injury.
THE TSUNAMI
1. Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. While tsunami waves do not increase much in height in the deep ocean, they build up dramatically as they reach shallow coastal waters.
2. The deadliest tsunami in recent history was in 2004, when an earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered a tsunami that killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries, including over 10,000 in India.
3. It is important to evacuate coastal areas immediately when tsunami warnings are issued, as the first wave may not be the largest and tsunamis consist of multiple waves that can last for hours. Staying alert and having an evacuation plan can
Natural disasters
A disaster is a serious disruption, occurring over a relatively short time, of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
Tsunami
1) Tsunamis are large, destructive waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or other disturbances that displace large volumes of water.
2) While difficult to detect in deep ocean waters, tsunamis slow down and increase in height as they reach shallow coastal waters, where they can cause catastrophic damage by rapidly flooding low-lying areas.
3) International warning systems use seismic and ocean monitoring technologies to detect tsunamis and issue alerts, but coastal evacuations must be rapid as some tsunamis can reach shore in just minutes.

- 1. Tsunami Jasmin Figueroa Osvaldo Murillo Lorena Figueroa Giovanni Soto
- 2. What is a tsunami • When mass movement such as an earthquake or landslide suddenly displaces a large amount of water • A long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslides or other disturbance • Tsunami are a serious of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body water, usually an ocean earthquake landslides volcanic eruptions explosions and even the impact of cosmic bodies such as meteorites can generate tsunamis tsunamis have extremely large long wavelength up to several hundreds miles long
- 5. where is it, where is it happening? • they are more likely to happen on shores • scientist estimate that almost three quarter of the world tsunamis occur in the pacific ocean • they occur more on the pacific ocean and Indonesia due to the large number of active submarines earthquake zones • active tsunamis occur in the pacific ocean due to high seismic activity
- 6. Causes of tsunami Earthquakes Volcanic eruptions Under water explosions Meteorite impacts
- 7. A tsunami can travel at well over 970 kph (600mph) in the open ocean as fast as a jet flies it can only take a few hours for a tsunami to travel across an entire ocean a tsunami wave can reach over 100 FT or higher onto land
- 8. How does it affect life on earth a huge wall of water comes ashore, there are some devastating effects of a tsunami affects houses causing millions of Dollars to repair damaged houses destroys animals and causes people to be in an unsafe environment
- 9. What are some solutions Tsunami warning SOLUTIONS • by using global positioning systems (GPS) to measure ground deformation caused by a large underwater earthquake, they can provide accurate warning of the resulting tsunami in just a few minutes provide outside warning against a potential tsunami Click to add text GIS (GPS)to track down when a tsunami occurs
- 10. disasters and debris are the most critical environment problem faced by tsunami Recycling and disposal of this waste in an environmentally sensitive manner where possible crushing concrete, bricks, etc. to produce aggregate for rebuilding and road reconstruction are critic
- 11. Mega Thrust (subduction zones) • uAnother term for Mega thrust (subduction zones) is called high • useismic activity, and this is precisely where most tsunami cases are • ufound through out the world. • uHigh seismic activities creates submarine earthquake zones and • uthey are mainly located around the Pacific Rim of large bodies of • uwater such as our oceans and even rivers are potentially • uthreatened. • v
- 12. The importance of the Pacific Rim. uOne major factor in the birth of a Tsunami is when the Pacific Rim uhas a high number of active submarine earthquake zones. And uthese hotspots are mainly attracted on shores. u Almost three quarters of the worlds Tsunamis occur around the uPacific Ocean and Indonesia. The reason that these locations spark uTsunamis is because of the high seismic activities surrounding the uPacific Rim.
- 13. tsunami destruction • tsunamis have been known to cause major destruction to the towns it strikes due to the huge amounts of power behind the giant waves • many people can loose their homes and for many that is all they hold in their life leaving them with no place to stay • in most case people lose loved ones who get swept away completely
- 14. How many Tsunamis occur per year? • uOn the average, two tsunamis occur per year throughout the world • uand about 80% of Tsunamis form within the Pacific Oceans • u“Ring of Fire” making that specific Ocean one of the most • uvulnerable for Tsunamis.
