How does the shape of the seabed affect the way the tsunami impacts the coast (like in Sumatra)​

Geography
1 answer:
TEA [102]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

As a tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and travels into the shallower water near the coast, it transforms and travels at a speed that is related to the water depth and hence as the water depth decreases, the tsunami slows down. As a tsunami approaches shore or land it begins to slow and grow in height.In the coastal areas, a tsunami may appear as huge wall of water coming towards the coast. With its tremendous energy, the fast moving waves can crush houses and other structures in the coastal areas. Most of the deaths caused by a tsunami are due to drowning.

Central and state governments <br> influence each other in
Masteriza [31]
The answer to this problem would be that the central government and the state governments influence each other in a federal system. A central government would be most likely to be a characteristic of a unitary state while on the other hand, the state governments would be in a federal form of government which resides on the country subdivision. At which as to how they are influencing each other, they may come in terms of domestic policy because it might go to show that the central government and the state governments' interests and other needs be parallel to each other or might even overlap each other.
