Tsunami:
Tsunami: a natural phenomenon consisting of a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. They are often caused by underwater earthquakes, landslides or a volcanic eruption, but can also be caused by large meteorite impacts.
The term tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbor (tsu) and wave (nami).
-Small amplitude and long wavelength...
It is incorrect to call them tidal waves, as they are not related to the tides.

Earthquakes
Earthquake: A sudden motion or trembling in the Earth. The motion is caused by the quick release of slowly accumulated energy in the form of seismic waves. Most earthquakes are produced along faults, tectonic plate boundaries, or along the mid-oceanic ridges.
Seismic Wave: Successive wave-type displacement of rock.
Magnitude: relative amount of energy released during an earthquake.
Richter Scale : A logarithmic measurement scale of earthquake magnitude. This scale measures the energy released by the largest seismic wave associated with the earthquake.
(On logarithmic scale, energy increase from one magnitude to the next is about 32 times greater.0

Tsunami Formation
Vertical displacement of water
Caused by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, meteorites
Tsunami Movement
This movement creates a wave in the water body which radiates outward in concentric shells. Water is seeking equilibrium.
Low amplitude and long wavelength
Fast travel across ocean
“Pile-up” as it reaches a coastline

Water (and waves) “piles-up” at the coastline

DamageA tsunami looks like an endlessly onrushing tide which forces its way around and through any obstacle. Most of the damage is done by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front. The sheer weight of the water is enough to pulverise objects in its path, reducing buildings to its foundations and scouring exposed ground to bedrock.

What is a disaster?Where human (and political) and physical worlds collide.
Disaster: “situation or event, which overwhelms local capacity, necessitating a request to national or international level for external assistance; an unforeseen and often sudden event that causes great damage, destruction and human suffering”. -from United Nations

Political Geographical Dimensions of Disaster
UN categorizes disasters as follows:
Hydro-meteorological disasters: including floods and wave surges, storms, droughts and related disasters (extreme temperatures and forest/scrub fires), and landslides & avalanches; Geophysical disasters: divided into earthquakes & tsunamis and volcanic eruptions; Biological disasters: covering epidemics and insect infestations. Technological disasters:
Industrial accidents: such as chemical spills; collapses of industrial infrastructures; explosions; fires, gas leaks; poisoning; radiation; Transport accidents: by air, rail, road or water means of transport; Miscellaneous accidents: collapses of domestic/non-industrial structures; explosions; fires.

Outcomes of Tsunami-
There are many outcomes from this disaster: ecological, psychological, demographic, cultural, humanitarian, political etc.
Here are just a few of the expected and unexpected outcomes of a disaster such as this.

Unexpected Outcomes of Tsunami
•Release of Nuclear Wastes in Somalia
![Page 28: Tsunamis Indian Ocean 2004: Causes and Outcomes Japan 2011: Causes and Outcomes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649d9d5503460f94a86ecf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Unexpected Outcomes of Tsunami
•Release of Nuclear Wastes in Somalia
•Less Donations for Other DisastersThe United Nations flash appeal for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami was "an extraordinarily effective emergency relief effort," but all the world's other "neglected emergencies" are woefully under-funded even though the amount sought is only a fifth of what Europe spends on ice cream each year, a senior UN official said today.
