Excellent clip 2011 Japan Tsunamis Mega tsunami caused by a landslide July 9th 1958 Explanation Outline causes A tsunami can be generated when destructive plate boundaries abruptly move and vertically displace the overlying water. It is very unlikely that they can form at constructive or conservative plate boundaries. This is because constructive or conservative boundaries do not generally disturb the vertical displacement of the water column. Subduction zone related earthquakes

in Japan at 5:46 am. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale. The quake only lasted 20 seconds‚ but killed over 6‚400 people. This earthquake was caused by the subduction of the denser oceanic Philippines Plate by the lighter continental Eurasian Plate. During the 20 second earthquake‚ the ground moved 50cm horizontally and 1m vertically. This caused over 350‚000 people to become injured. More than 7‚500 wooden houses completely collapsed. Some buildings built in the 1960’s

I am here today to talk to your about earthquake preparedness. During this press release I will be describing the hazards associated with earthquakes in Los Angeles. I will discuss the origin and causes of earthquakes and the relation of earthquakes to plate tectonics and faults in Los Angeles

ancient oceans change to become what we now see today? It is a popular opinion that the World was once a supercontinent called “Pangaea”. At this time there was only one ocean called “Panthalassa”. The pieces of the supercontinent were giant plates that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Through years and years of continental drift‚ the giant jigsaw pieces became the continents of the world we know today. The splitting apart of the continents gave way to new oceans. The continents continue

Bahariya Bahariya oasis is a natural oval shaped depression. It is located at the contact between cretaceous and Eocene deposits. One of the early geologic works was carried out by Ball and Beadnell (1903). They produce a topographical- geological map of the oasis and discuss the stratigraphy of the rock exposed. They distinguished three topographic features; the bounding escarpments; the conical hills within the depression and the oasis floor. They notice that the southern scarp is steeper than

a few of us had diarrhoea after consuming food from the canteen. 3. Apart from that‚ the food is also too expensive. A small plate of fried mee costs RM1.50 and many poor students cannot afford it. Besides that‚ the canteen serves the same menu daily. The students are bored with fried rice and fried mee every day. 4. Another complaint is that the cups and plates are oily and not washed properly. The workers are also not appropriately attired although they have been told to wear aprons and

ocean trenches and oceanic mountain ranges. About 13% of the earthquakes on the map occurred along subduction zones. Out of all of the earthquakes on the map‚ I would say that about twenty of the quakes do not appear to be associated with any active plate boundary. The most powerful earthquakes that were plotted on the map occurred along subduction zones. The deepest earthquakes on the map also occurred along subduction zones. The geological factors that might explain the different levels of earthquake
