Outin the open ocean, tsunami waves are only about one-metre high because the water is deep. However, as the water becomes shallow, the waves slow down and begin to grow. They can rise 35m or higher - that's the same as a 10-floor block of flats! However, the scariest thing about a tsunami is its wavelength, as this determines how far
Thetsunami contained twice the energy of all the bombs utilized throughout World War II. The earthquake that caused the tsunami lasted almost 10 minutes. The tsunami resulted in about $10 billion of property damage and other material losses.
Indonesias bureau of meteorology, the BMKG, warned of a danger of landslides, particularly in the event of heavy rain, as 25 aftershocks were recorded in the first two hours after the quake.
MountTambora, volcanic mountain on Sumbawa island, Indonesia, that in April 1815 exploded in the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. The eruption killed at least 10,000 islanders and expelled enough ash, rock, and aerosols to block sunshine worldwide, lower the global temperature, and cause famine.
Forexample, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, with a death toll of around 230,000 people, cost a 'mere' $15 billion, [1] whereas in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in which 11 people died, the damage was six times higher. The most expensive disaster in human history is the Chernobyl disaster, costing an estimated $700 billion. [2]

On17 July 2006, the tourist resort of Pangandaran on Java's south coast was hit by a tsunami, resulting in 413 fatalities and severe damage to buildings. The tsunami resulted in major rebuilds with a focus on mass tourism. Assessments of the impact of a future tsunami focussed on building development and suggest limited change since 2006. This article presents a case study on the

Theeffects of a tsunami on a coastline can range from unnoticeable to devastating. The effects of a tsunami depend on the characteristics of the seismic event that generated the tsunami, the distance from its point of origin, its size and, at last, the configuration of the bathymetry (that is the depth of water in oceans) along the coast that the tsunami is approaching.
