根据第一段的第一句A natural hazard is any natural event that can do harm to human beings.可知, 自然灾害是指任 何可能对人类造成伤害的自然事件,故可用 dangerous 来描述自然灾害。 2. B 细节理解题。 根据第三段中 Tsunami: If you notice the water...
A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g. flood, drought, tornado, volcano eruption, earthquake, typhoon, tsunami, or landslide) that affects the environment, and brings financial, environmental and human losses. We can see many natural disasters occurring at home and abroad ...
What damage can a tsunami cause? What type of fault is a subduction zone? How heavy is a tectonic plate? What tectonic plate is France on? What are tectonic plates made of? What tectonic plates caused the earthquake in Japan in 2011?
A subset of megathrust earthquakes produce anomalously large tsunamis for their magnitude. All of these recorded ‘tsunami earthquakes’ in the past 50 years had extensional aftershocks in the upper plate. These include the two largest and most destructive earthquakes of that period, the 2004 Sumatra...
It is reported that 12% of 94 Norwegians who lost close family members in the 2004 Southeast Asian Tsunami had a prolonged grief disorder 6 years after the event, which is an independent risk factor of functional impairment31. Moreover, the use of psychotropic medications for such stress has...
What natural disasters occur on the Indian Plate? What other disasters can an erupting volcano cause? What is a lahar in geology? What is a geologic formation? What tectonic plates caused the 2004 tsunami? What is a geological area? What are geological features? What is geological exploration?
Triggered by a tremor during the large caldera-forming eruption, segments of the volcanic slope slid hundreds of meters down the flank. This caused large water masses to be displaced, generating a huge tsunami wave. The researchers estimate the amount of material that moved down the volcan...

In 1700, this subduction zone triggered a gigantic earthquake, measuring an estimated 8.7 to 9.2 in magnitude and spawning a tsunami that reached Japan. Researchers found in 2021 that what looks in the geologic record like one monster quake may have actually consisted of several relativelysmaller ...
coast, however, with the hazard of a tsunami near the top of the list. Certain buildings don't hold up against earthquakes The bigger the population and the more infrastructure a community has, the higher the risk of a disastrous earthquake, Hobbs s...
