An earthquake of 8.8 kaq, one of the strongest registered ever, struck the far east of Russia early on Wednesday, which prompted Tsunami warnings In coastal cities in multiple countries.
Simon Boxal, a lecturer in ocean science at the University of Southampton, told Associated Press that the earthquake was “what we call the roll of fire in the Pacific. This is an area around the entire edge of the Pacific Ocean famous for large earthquakes.”
“The Earth consists of this type of geology panels, these geophysical paintings, and the land that these paintings rubbed, as they join some extent, we are subject to construction pressures, and then we get a sudden launch of pressure and part of the sea floor,” Boxal said. “And so it is the one that causes a tsunami. Not all fluctuations, all these earthquakes will not be born.”

Boxal said that the tsunami resulting from this earthquake was not “huge. It will not lead to mass destruction. But it will lead to a coastal flood and this will lead to the ends of the danger if people do not move to the high land.”
Two earthquakes 9.1 – Tuoko earthquake in 2011 in Japan and 2004 Sumatra earthquake In Indonesia – the huge tsunami killed thousands of people.
The earthquake scientist Grace Cythanant said that there is a reason that caused TEMBLORS in a more destroyed tsunami than on Wednesday’s earthquake.
Sethanant said that while the earthquake 9.1 “may seem from size 8.8 … in terms of energy, it is three times stronger.”
“Imagine that 8.8 is, while dropping a rock in the lake, and you see the ripples. This is the energy,” said Sethanant. “Imagine that you have this rock like three times larger. Therefore, in terms of the size of the earthquake movement, the 2011 and 2004 earthquake energy in Sumatra and Japan, it is actually larger than three to four times … This is why tsunami in these events was more destructive.”

National Tsunami Tsunami Dave Snyder said that Tsunamis should believe that “ocean floods” are more than waves.
“The most important thing to understand about tsunami is that this is not a browsing wave, it is not a wind wave,” Snyder said. “Tsunami is the entire ocean column that is raised above the high tide level there due to the extreme movement of the Earth’s crust with the earthquake there, so this is an important planetary event that we have just seen.”
