An 8.8-Criminal Earthquake, one of the strongest ever, hit on Wednesday in the Far East of Russia, indicated Tsunami warning In many countries in coastal cities.
The earthquake was “but we call the Pacific Ring of Fire. It is an area around the entire Prashant Rim that is famous for important earthquakes,” told the Associated Press by Lecturer Simon Boxol in Oceanography at Southmapton University.
“The Earth is made up of such geology plates, these geophysical plates, and the earth, where these plates rub, where they are involved, we join, we create stress, and then every time we suddenly receive the release of pressure and the part of the cibed flies up,” Boxol said. “And therefore it is the one that causes tsunami. And not all the flips, all earthquakes will not produce them.”

Baukal said that the tsunami generated by this earthquake was “not too big. It is not a large scale causing destruction. But it will cause coastal floods and will cause damage and will put it at risk if people do not go to high ground.”

Earthquake scientist Grace Sethhanant said that there was one reason that those temples caused a much more devastating tsunami compared to Wednesday’s earthquake.
While a magnitude 9.1 earthquake “may not take away from 8.8 in terms of energy, it is three times strong,” said Sethonant.
“Imagine that there is 8.8, as I leave a rock in the lake, and you look at the waves. It’s energy,” said Sethanant. “Imagine that you have three times larger. Therefore, in terms of earthquake movement magnitude, the energy of the 2011 and 2004 earthquakes in Sumatra and Japan, it is actually three to four times larger. … and that is why tsunamis were very devastating in those events.”
National Tsunami Warning Center Tsunami Warning Coordinator Dave Snider said that the tsunami should be considered more as a “ocean flood” than the waves.
“The most important thing to understand about the tsunami is that it is not a surf wave, it’s not a wind wave,” said the snider. “A tsunami is the entire ocean column that is being raised above the high tide level due to the extreme movement of the earth’s crust, which is with the earthquake there, so this is an important planet phenomenon we have just seen.”
