A tsunami is a series of ocean
waves that sends surges of water,
sometimes reaching height of over 100
feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These
walls of water can cause widespread
destruction when they crash ashore.
These awe-inspiring waves are
typically caused by large, undersea
earthquakes at tectonic plate
boundaries. When the ocean floor at a
plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it
displaces the water above it and
launches the rolling waves that will
become a tsunami.
Most tsunami, about 80 percent,
happen within the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring
of Fire”, a geologically active area
where tectonic shifts make volcanoes
and earthquakes common.
Tsunamis may also be caused by
underwater landslides or volcanic
eruptions. They may even be launched,
as they frequently were in Earth’s
ancient past, by the impact of a large
meteorite plunging into an ocean.
Tsunamis race across the sea at
up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an
hour – about as fast as a jet airplane. At
that pace they can cross the entire
expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less
than a day. And their long wavelengths
mean they lose very little energy along
the way.
A tsunami’s through, the low point
beneath the wave’s crest, often
reaches shore first. When it does, it
produces a vacuum effect that sucks
coastal water seaward and exposes
harbor and sea floors. This retreating of
sea water is an important warning sign
of a tsunami, because the wave’s crest
and its enormous volume of water
typically hit shore five minutes or so
later. Recognizing this phenomenon
can save lives.
A tsunami is usually composed of
a series of waves, called a wave train,
so its destructive force may be
compunded as successive waves
reach shore. People experiencing a
tsunami should remember that the
danger may not have passed with the
first wave and should await official word
that it is safe to return to vulnerable
locations.
Some tsunamis do not appear on
shore as massive breaking waves but
instead resemble a quickly surging tide
that inundates coastal areas.

Nowadays, the police have been
applying the new regulation
concerningthe use of seat belts. In
European countries, this regulation has
been applied for a long time. However,
this new regulation has become
controversial and is an interesting topic
to discuss. Here are some of the
arguments.
The use of seat belts has been
proven to reduce the risk of injury or
death in an accident. Seat belt has
become a standard component in cars.
The researchs show that most car
accident will cause an injury to the
head. Frequently, drivers or the
passengers driving without seat belts
die because of this. By wearing the seat
belts, the injury will not happen since
belts restrain our body on the car seat
when the accident happens.
Unfortunately, many cars,
especially the old ones, don’t have seat
belts. This is because the traffic
conditions in the past were unlike the
recent traffic conditions. The designer
of old cars didn’t consider a seat belt as
an important part. Besides, the drivers
wearing the seat belt will think that they
are completely safe, so they may drive
carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but
how about safety of other?
The seat belt is only one of the
ways to reduce the risk of car accidents.
It doesn’t mean that we are completely
safe. In short, our safety depends on
ourselves.
