Write a brief story about tsunami using the words below. •Faults •Tsunami •Earthquake •Damaging •Seafloor •Upward •Landslides •Downward •Tidal Waves •Volcanic Eruptions
FAULTS-In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements.
TSUNAMI- is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.
EARTHQUAKE- is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. ... Earthquakes may occur naturally or as a result of human activities. Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
DAMAGING-The damage caused by earthquakes is from ground shaking, ground rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction. Earthquake damage from fires is the most important secondary effect
SEAFLOOR spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.
LANDSLIDE-are caused by disturbances in the natural stability of a slope. They can accompany heavy rains or follow droughts, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.
TIDALWAVES-Although both are sea waves, a tsunami and a tidal wave are two different and unrelated phenomena. A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth ("tidal wave" was used in earlier times to describe what we now call a tsunami.)
VOLCANICERUPTIONS-
Volcanic eruptions happen when lava and gas are discharged from a volcanic vent. ... Volcanic eruptions often cause temporary food shortages and volcanic ash landslides called Lahar. The most dangerous type of volcanic eruption is referred to as a 'glowing avalanche'.
