How do you prevent the impact of Tsunami?
You yell Imanust! thus cancelling out the equation
How do tsumanis form?
Tsunami's can be formed by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and rarely, a landslide or meteorite. When earthquakes start, most of the time, large areas on the ocean floor is suddenly elevated or subsided. All of the energy released from that pushes the water up and as more energy is released, more water comes up. And thus, it creates a tsunami. Volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes. Landslides are very rare. But when landslides do create a tsunami, it is referred to as a mega tsunami. And is a LOT more dangerous than a regular tsunami (not sure how much stronger). For a landslide to create a tsunami, you would need at least around 90 million tons of rock hitting the water simultaneously.
What dose tsunami mean in Japanese and why?
"Tsu" means "Harbour" and "Nami" means "Wave"; thus, tsunami translated means "Harbour Wave".
Why there was no tsunami after Haiti's earthquake?
Haiti's earthquake was not strong enough to produce a tsunami. The earthquake caused a lot of destruction in Haiti, but that was largely because the buildings in Haiti had not been designed to withstand earthquakes. The earthquake in Haiti had its epicentre on LAND not in the ocean. Thus there was no sea floor movement associated with the earthquake which could have produced a tsunami.
How often does California get hit by tsunamis?
well Tsunamis are common were lots of hurricanes happen underwater most of the times they happen 4-7 times per year like the Tsunami that happen 2004 Indonesia people call it "boxing day Tsunami" to see the video go to youtube and put boxing day Tsunami then enter then the 3rd box then you'll see how bad it was. :(
Do tsunami have any effect on the U.S?
A tsunami would have a significant effect on the part of the United States where it occurred - or, rather, which was inundated by it. However, in recent history none of the USA has been directly affected by a tsunami. Most tsunamis occur in the Pacific ocean or Indian ocean due to the major subduction zones in and bordering these regions. The US does have territories in the Pacific - including the state of Hawaii. Hawaii, in fact, was hit by a tsunami just a few centuries, ago - although not one as bad was struck Indonesia just a few years ago. Indirectly, a tsunami might have an effect on the US by harming one of its trade partners - and thus decreasing the supply of trade from that country. This could drive up prices of items that typically come from that country, whether food, raw materials (iron, wood, etc), or finished products (cameras, toys, TVs, etc).
Does the climate change after a tsunami?
There is little reason for a tsunami to change the climate. Climates are affected by changes in the distribution of warm and cold air. Tsunami don't do this. Tsunami are caused by undersea earthquakes and these generate an insignificant amount of heat, made even more insignificant by the huge heat capacity of the ocean. For a tsunami to affect climate it would have to be caused by a major volcanic eruption. In such a case, the volcanic activity would get the blame, not the water. The only way a tsunami might be more closely related to a climate change would be this: Suppose a tsunami were caused by a huge shifting of the ocean bed and that this caused a major change in an ocean current. That would result in a change in the earth's heat distribution and thus its climate. But still, it's the earthquake getting the blame for both - the tsunami and the climate change.
Where tsunamies occur?
Tsunamis occur in water bodies, usually where an earthquake or volcano occurs. They become tsunamis when they get close to land.It can occur anywhere when a earthquake underwater happens and the place for it to happen is at a area with shallow waters and it is along the CoastlinesWherever a standing body of water occurs, and a shift in the support sytem encompassing that water (e.g. rock, ground, sand, etc.) "shifts", an impulse occurs. This "impulse" travels away from the source of same until it's energy runs out. If nothing disturbs the support system, there will never be a tsunami.Let's simplify. Sound waves are identical to tsunami waves. They expand outward from the source of "vibration". No vibration, no waves. Thus, where ever there is potential for vibration in a support system for pooled water, there is potential for a tsunami.

How many minutes in December?
December has 31 days. Each day has 24 hours. Each hour has 60 minutes. Thus, the number of minutes in december is 31*24*60, or 44,640
