Answer:

The correct answer is principle of superimposition.

Explanation:

According to the superimposition principle, in the undisturbed rocks, the youngest rocks are situated on the top and the oldest rocks are found in the bottom. The phenomenon takes place due to withering. The rocks get withered because of the influence of air and water.  

The soil particles or the sediments get gathered at another site. The deposits of sediments get concentrated with time and result in the production of rocks. The mature rocks get surrounded by the layers of sediments with time passing by. These sediments get concentrated again to produce novel rocks. Through this procedure, the fresh young rocks get produced over the older ones.

You will develop a brief portfolio detailing the history of tsunamis in a modern society that could be used to teach others.
Maru [420]

The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.
