Define Tsunami , how to respond to Tsunami ?
Answers
Answer:
Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by major earthquakes beneath the ocean floor or major landslides into the ocean. Rising to several feet or higher, they can strike the coast with devastating force. People on beaches or in low coastal areas, such as estuaries and rivers, need to be aware that a tsunami could arrive within minutes of a severe earthquake – and the danger period can continue for many hours. Tsunamis can occur any time of year, day or night.
Top Tips
To escape a tsunami, go as high and as far as you can – ideally to a spot 100 feet above sea level or 2 miles away.
Every foot inland or upward may make a difference!
If you can see the wave, you are too close for safety.
Know the difference!
A Tsunami WARNING means a tsunami may have been generated and could be close to your area.
A Tsunami WATCH means a tsunami has not yet been verified but could exist and may be as little as an hour away.
