tsunami


Tsunami is the transfer of water bodies caused by changes in sea surface vertically with a sudden. Changes in sea level can be caused by an earthquake centered under the sea, underwater volcanic eruptions, underwater landslides, or or a meteor hit the ocean. Tsunami waves can propagate in all directions. Power contained in the tsunami wave height is fixed to the function and kelajuannya. In the deep ocean, tsunami waves can propagate with the speed of 500-1000 km per hour. Equivalent to the speed of aircraft. Deep-sea wave height is only about 1 meter. Thus, the wave speed is not felt by the ship which was in the middle of the sea. When approaching the coast, the tsunami wave velocity decreases to about 30 km per hour, but its height was increased to reach tens of meters. Tsunami waves can go blow up to tens of kilometers from the beach. Damage and casualties that occur because of the Tsunami can be caused by a blow of water and materials carried by the flow of tsunami waves.
The negative impact caused by tsunamis are destroying everything in its path. Buildings, plants, and resulted in human casualties and causing inundation, salt water contamination of agricultural land, soil, and clean water.
