Why a tsunami often causes a rapid withdrawal?

Geography
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
6 0
The shockwave from an undersea earthquake causes 'ripples' in the ocean which are very large swells. When the bottom of the swell touches land, it must build up higher to maintain it's size. Therefore when it approaches the beach, water is drawn away from the beach to compensate for the ocean depth getting shallower under the tsunami swell. More water is drawn from in front of the swell than behind due to the movement of the swell.

the graph above shows population of Brazil's largest cities according to the graph how does Brazil's third largest city compare
Gemiola [76]

The second largest city in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, while the third biggest is the capital Brasilia. Rio de Janeiro has an estimated population of around 6,5 million people while Brasilia has little less than 3 million. This makes Rio de Janeiro more than twice bigger in population than the capital of Brazil, Brasilia. But there's something interesting in here in the background, in the past 6 years the population of the second Rio de Janeiro has only increased by little over 9%, while Brasilia's population has increased by around 20% which is more than twice in increase, so if that trend continues in the coming few decades Brasilia will come on top of Rio de Janeiro very quickly.

Why does the world need sustainability​
GuDViN [60]

Answer: Sustainability is important for a very simple, very straightforward reason: we cannot maintain our quality of life as human beings, the diversity of life on Earth, or Earth’s ecosystems unless we embrace it. There are indications from all quarters and from the smallest to the largest scale that sustainability is something we must address.
