Why a tsunami often causes a rapid withdrawal?

Geography

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.

For People who live in Norway what is the best thing about Norway and would you recommend someone to move there?
masya89 [10]

First off, it is largely rural. There are a few medium-sized cities here, but other than that, this is a very rural area. The fact that our overall living standards are high and good is both a pro and a drawback; they are expensive, but most jobs pay well enough (well regulated minimum wages). The politicians, despite their flaws, are generally not outright wicked people who exploit us, and the checks and balances system works. It is one of the safest countries, fairly egalitarian, has no true social hierarchy (compared to most of the rest of the world), and has strong press freedom. Strong worker rights exist, and society as a whole functions well.  And of course its spacious and a lot of decent natural sites. Yeah, as another con i can add that it may be hard, unless you have a very outgoing personality to get friends  as an adult. Of course it is easier if you are in certain organizations (sports, hobby, religious).
