Topic 1
A tsunami is a natural disaster, huge waves
caused by the storm capable of destroying
everything in its path,very dangerous, more
likely to suffer city which is surrounded by
seas and oceans such as Japan. Japan earthquake and tsunami of 2011, also
called Great Sendai Earthquake or Great
Tōhoku Earthquake, severe natural disaster
that occurred in northeastern Japan on
March 11, 2011. The event began
with a powerful earthquake off the
northeastern coast of Honshu, Japan's
main island, which caused widespread
damage on land and initiated a series of
large tsunami waves that devastated many
coastal areas of the country, most notably in
the Tōhoku region (northeastern Honshu).
The tsunami also instigated a major nuclear
accidentat a power station along the coast.
The magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck
at 2:46 PM. (The early estimate of
magnitude 8.9 was later revised
upward.) The epicentre was located
some 80 miles (130 km) east of the city
of Sendai, Miyagi prefecture, and the focus
occurred at a depth of 18.6 miles (about 30
km) below the floor of the western Pacific
Ocean. The earthquake was caused by
the rupture of a stretch of the subduction
zone associated with the Japan Trench,
which separates the Eurasian Plate from the
subducting Pacific Plate.
A wave measuring some 33 feet high
inundated the coast and flooded parts of
the city of Sendai, including its airport and
the surrounding countryside. According to
some reports, one wave penetrated some 6
miles (10 km) inland after causing the Natori
River, which separates Sendai from the city
of Natori to the south, to overflow.
The earthquake triggered tsunami warnings
throughout the Pacific basin. The tsunami
raced outward from the epicentre at speeds
that approached about 500 miles (800 km)
per hour. It generated waves 11 to 12 feet (3.3
to 3.6 metres) high along the earthquake
triggered tsunami warnings throughout
the Pacific basin. The tsunami raced
outward from the epicentre at speeds that
approached about 500 miles (800 km) per
hour. It generated waves 11 to 12 feet (3.3 to
3.6 metres) high along
