What else causes an tsunamis?

Answer 1

Tsunamis can cause financial ruin and harm to humans: loss of livestock, loss of loved ones, home loss, job loss, loss of crops and food supplies, leakage of sewage into fresh water sources causing disease, loss of all personal belongings, business losses and other destruction from which many never recover. Other impacts of tsunamis on governments include that many citizens will be homeless, unemployed, hungry, injured, and unable to pay taxes.

Some environmental impact could be: wildfire; injured and killed people, plants and animals; deforestation; damage to coral and marine reefs; destruction of buildings and homes; ruin of businesses; damage to power plants; release of nuclear material from a nuclear power plant; and billions of dollars worth of more destruction.

If you are in the sea when one occurs, the most you will feel is a bump, like a large underwater wave. Tsunami waves can move right under large vessels on the water without notice until the wave reaches the more shallow waters near shore where they can rise as much as hundreds of feet above sea level.

Once it hits land, then the chaos occurs.

The first wave is slow moving, going crawling on the floor of the sea bed. The next wave rides on the first, moving fast and with a very large volume. These enormous waves cause death and destruction on islands or coastal areas.

It causes damage and floods.

When a tsunami wave comes ashore, it can affect a huge area of land, transforming the landscape. First, a tsunami wave throws salty seawater over the land. Too much salt is bad for living things, so if soil becomes too salty, crops cannot grow or will not grow well. In addition, the force of a tsunami can ruin pipelines and factories. This lets out sewage, oil, or dangerous chemicals into the environment. It can take many years for the environment to revert to normal.

A tsumani affects the Earth by killing or damaging everything in its destructive path. Plants and animals are hurt if they do not sense the pending tsunami and leave the area before it hits.

Tsunamis will definitely cause casualties and injuries. Tsunamis, as they originate from the sea or another large body of water, will wash fishing boats and other boats anchored close to the shore (such as cruise ships) onto shore and sometimes deep inland. The boats will be stuck on shore and usually wrecked from the forces of the event.

The tsunami will also cause fish and marine life to be washed onto shore and trapped there to die.

They can also flood the lands near the shore, causing people to die from them. They will damage the crops and cause nearby buildings to collapse. Some people might be trapped under the buildings and die. They uproot trees too, causing them to fall on houses and people.

Lastly, they cause economic decline as the people and governments have to spend a lot of money rebuilding the houses and restoring the original landscape. This can be extremely costly, especially if it is a beautiful resort area. They would also have to compensate the victims' families as a form of comforting. They would also face a decrease in tourism.

Due to the damages and loss of life, tsunamis can also cause despair problems to survivors and witnesses of the tsunami, including relatives of the victims. This problem is a most serious one, as it is very difficult to cure and it takes a very long time.

Answer 2

Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
