Eksempler på tsunami

• The results are used in conjunction with earlier one-dimensional analyses to estimate the total tsunami run-up.

• Only when close to shore do tsunami sometimes assume such shapes.

• Certainly the pharmaceutical money tsunami is having major adverse effects.

• But they reserve their most serious warning for coastal and submarine landslides and the risk of tsunamis.

• The refractive influence on tsunami run-up of the offshore bottom topography of islands is analyzed.

• The most controversial section is that dealing with postulated tsunami-generated coastal forms, especially scoured bedrock surfaces.

• It is of particular interest to infer tsunami run-up on island shores.

• The disastrous effects of the tsunami are limited to coastal regions.

• A more serious problem is the basic nature of the tsunami, which is brought into existence by a shallow shelving sea floor.

• Therefore, all attempts to unravel tsunami activity worldwide throughout the historic period, however locally defined, should be welcomed.

• Initially, this study arose from questions concerning the scattering of tsunamis as they propagate over the irregular topography of the deep waters of the ocean.

• The tsunami is not felt in the open sea.

• Several facets of the mathematical problem are rather fascinating but the results do suggest that scattering is not the most important part of the tsunami propagation.

• Agricultural biotechnology has been described as a tsunami washing over agriculture - with fundamental impacts on how we grow and market our food and fiber.

• Volcanic islands, whether they erupt or not, now seem to have been responsible for sea-level-linked tsunamis vastly larger than any caused by earthquakes.
