INTRODUCTION• TSUNAMI - The term tsunami comes from

the Japanese 津波 ,composed of two kanji 津 (tsu) meaning "harbor" and 波 (nami), meaning "wave".

• It is the most dangerous natural disaster.• In 2004 Sumatra earthquake generated

tsunami was most destructuve in the history of mankind ever recorded.

TSUNAMI Generation

• By Seismicity - The under sea earthquake that was caused by Subduction and started as a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts.

• By landslides - extremely large landslides from volcanic island collapses can generate tsunamis that can cross oceans.

• Meteotsunami - tsunami like wave formation of meteorological origin.

Cause of damage• When the wave enters shallow water, it slows down and its amplitude

(height) increases.• the smashing force of a wall of water travelling at high speed, and the

destructive power of a large volume of water draining off the land and carrying all with it, even if the wave did not look large.

• When wave reaches the land it gets elevation and it can reach upto hieght of 10 m.

The boxing day

• Subduction process between Indian plate and Burma plate cause stresses.

• On the morning of December 26, the strain reached its limit, and the Burma Plate separated from the India Plate, snapping upward.

• This produced large disturbance in the ocean near Sumatra.

• The rupture began off the Sumatran coast and spread northwest at an estimated 6,300 miles per hour.

Causes of powerful tsunami • the power of the earthquake, which was determined to be

about a magnitude 9.2.It is the 2nd largest earthquake ever recorded.

• The energy released was 3,000 times that of the first atomic bomb. This sudden release of energy caused the entire planet to wobble momentarily on its axis.

• The quake occurred in a relatively shallow portion of the Indian Ocean, 19 miles below the surface .Eartquakes occurred in deep ocean hardly generate tsunami.
