The word “Tsunami” itself is derived from the Japan which means a huge
wave (Tsu: ports and Nami: wave). An agreed definition of Adapan many
people are of the tsunami is a natural disaster caused by the rising tide of the
sea to the Mainland with a high speed due to the earthquake which was
centered under the ocean. The quake could have been caused
by a landslide, ground plates shifted, a volcano erupts and the meteor that
crashed in the ocean. This usually happens when
the tsunami magnitude earthquake exceeded the 7 on the richter scale. The
tsunami is quite dangerous, especially for those who live in
the coastal environment. With great power, he will sweep away what was
spent.

If talking about the process of the occurrence of a tsunami, then


we certainly should start from the cause, i.e. the area of the earthquake in the
sea. Tsunami always starts a movement of terrific that customarily we call the
earthquake. Although it is known that there are many kinds of quakes,
but 90% of the tsunami caused by the movement of the plates in the belly
of the Earth happens to be located there in the ocean. However, it should be
also mentioned, history never recorded the terrible tsunami due to
the eruption of Krakatoa.
The earthquake that occurred in the belly of the Earth would have resulted
in the emergence of pressure towards the vertical so that the ocean
floor will rise and fall in a short span of time. This will then trigger an
imbalance on the ocean water is then pushed into a large wave that
moves mainland region.

With great power on the water wave, the fair only if the buildings on the
Mainland could be swept away easily. This tsunami waves propagate at
speeds unimaginable. He could reach 500 to 1000 kilometres per hour on the
sea. And by the time it reaches shore, its speed is reduced to 50 to
30 kilometers per hour. Despite the diminished rapidly, but the pace could
have caused severe damage to humans.

If we observe the process of occurrence of tsunamis, of course we understand


that there is no human intervention in it. As such, we do not have control in
order to prevent these causes. However,
with maximum vigilance and preparation, we can minimize the impact
of the tsunami itself. Good examples already shown Japan. Though prone
to tsunamis, but awareness of its people is able to suppress the number of
casualties due to the disaster.
