an event similar to the 365 AD event may occur about every 800 years, with the lastEgypt is situated on the northeastern side of the African continent and bordered by the Mediterranean Sea from the north with coast line of about 995 km long. The Egyptian Mediterranean coastal zones is one of the tsunami prone areas in northern Africa and affected by very strong tsunamigenic earthquakes in the historic (past) which have occurred in the eastern Mediterranean region along two subduction zones; Hellenic and Cyprian arcs. For instance, the most severe events that happened along Hellenic arc were 21 July, 365 AD and 8 August 1303 AD. These tsunami events caused widespread damages and destroyed the Nile Delta region, northern part of Egypt (Sitros

According to the research report, it will cause thousands of people die, towns submerged, buildings and bridges damaged once a huge earthquake and tsunamis happened on the Pacific Northwest area near American coast. And losses will be estimated at over 5 billion dollar US dollars. This shocking article was composed by seismic safety advisory committee in Oregon. According to materials, a super-strong earthquake once happened in A.D. 1700 Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) on the Pacific Northwest coast. There are some experts forecast that another super-huge earthquake will occur in the future. The report has shown that once the earthquake occurs, the regions from North California to British Columbia Coastal region will suffer devastation, cause heavy casualties. Water and electricity shortage issues definitely follow this heavy disaster, meanwhile, communication and heating system and gas supply will definitely broken off in the light of this earthquake. The CSZ is a 1,000 km long dipping fault that stretches from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino in northern California. It separates the Juan de Fuca (Juan
but the tide soon returned with the weight of an immense [flood] which was severely felt on the coasts of Sicily, Greece, and Egypt” (Doc. F)This means that after the earthquake had hit and left the Romans in despair, they were attacked by a large wave coming at about five hundred miles per hour. This also means that anyone who had survived the earthquake was likely to have been killed in the tsunami by drowning or being hit by something that was dragged along with the water. This is significant because the water went in the ocean for miles, letting the people walk where the water would be over your head without any water getting you wet , and then the water went and took over all of the Roman cities up to about sixty feet hight, destroyed homes, and killed fifty thousand people in just Alexandrea, one of Rome’s cities. This is also significant because the Romans had to start all over to rebuild their cities and make people want to stay. Rebuilding the Roman cities would be challenging because it would be hard to protect the cities from being attacked, start growing crops, build new homes, and making sure that the Roman citizens would be prepared if tsunami or earthquake were to hit
That is the image of a tsunami and they strike somewhere in the world almost every year. Some archeologists say that a mediterranean tsunami hit the north shore of Crete about 3500 years ago which sent Minoan civilization to surrender to Mycenaen Greeks. In the fifth century B.C. the Greek historian, Thuydides, was the first to document the connection between earthquakes and tsunamis. The majority of tsunamis are in the Indian and Pacific oceans where the Tectonic plated collide and the one carrying dense oceanic crust dives under the more floatable one forming a deep ocean trench. Normally it happens smoothly, but sometimes they become stuck and friction strain builds up, then it releases energy which raise and lower the water above it which becomes a tsunami. Created from the seafloor up they grow in dangerous heights in shallow waters only because in the deep oceans it barely
The Boxing Day Tsunami had occurred on the 26th of December 2004. The tsunami had started under water, in the Indian Ocean. The cause of the tsunami was that the Indo-Australian plate had subducted below the Eurasian plate, this process is called a convergent plate boundary. This resulted with an underwater earthquake, making waves approximately 20-30 metres high and travelling at speeds up to 500km/ph. Theses waves travelled throughout Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand and left each country in terrible conditions. The earthquake that occurred underwater had
As survivors from the quake rushed around in fear and confusion, they were greeted by yet another disaster. Shortly after the earthquake, a tsunami occurred. The tsunami’s waves struck the coastline beginning at twenty feet. But as more waves hit the coast, the height of the tsunami grew to just under forty feet, taking out everything that hadn’t already been destroyed by the earthquake, reducing the entire city to rubble. The tsunami stretched across sixty-two miles of coastline near Messina, and another twenty-four miles of coastline near Calabria. The damage from the tsunami was greater near the Calabria coast, where waves were higher and the water quickly swallowed houses and bridges, and flooded rivers. The tsunami that occurred in Messina still holds the title for one of the biggest tsunamis in today’s history. Recently, however, geologists have revisited origin of the tsunami, which is now widely debated. Some
Tsunamis occur when an earthquake happens in the ocean and the energy goes to the water creating huge waves. Tsunamis are very dangerous they can be so strong that they wash away the city, harm thousands, and cause hundreds of thousands to billions of dollars in damage. “A giant tsunami along the West Coast would wash away coastal towns, destroy U.S. Highway 101 and cause $70 billion in damage. More than 100 bridges would be lost, power lines toppled and coastal towns isolated. Residents would have as few as 15 minutes’ notice to flee to higher ground, and as many as 10,000 would die” (Dangerous tsunami threat off U.S. West Coast). This shows what kind of damage this geo-process can
Across history the River Nile has captivated philosophers, geographers, historians, engineers, politicians since the humans set their eyes on its water. A great civilization had been flourished along the Nile banks, the Pharaonic civilization. Herodotus, described Egypt as “an acquired country, a gift of the River Nile” [1]. The River Nile is considered the second longest river in the world. It has a length of about 6,500 km which extends from the most remote source, at the head if the river Luvironza (near Lake Tanganyika), to its mouth on the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile basin in its present situation covers a drainage area of about 3.11x106 km2. The basin extends from 4°S to 31°N latitude and from 21° 30’E to 40° 30’E longitude. The highest
Compared with the flash floods of the Tigris and the Euphrates, the historic Nile flood was much more predictable, and timely. As is the case today, most of its flow originated from monsoon rains in the Ethiopia. The river would rise in southern Egypt in early July, and reach a flood stage by August. The flood would then head northward, getting to the north end of the valley 4 to 6 weeks later.
Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient Northeastern Africa located along the Nile River in the place that is now the country Egypt. Ancient Egypt was split into two sections, Upper and Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt covered the delta region where the Nile empties into the Mediterranean Sea. Upper Egypt stretched from the Nile’s first cataract to within a hundred miles of the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient Egyptians settled by the Nile River because its annual flooding provided them with the reliable, rich soil that they needed to grow crops. They also developed wide-reaching trade networks along the Nile, in the Red Sea, and in the Near East. The Egyptians even based their seasons on the flooding of the Nile. The seasons were inundation (flooding), growth, and harvest. When the river did not flood, the nutrient level in the soil depleted greatly and their food shortages increased greatly.
Egypt has an area of 385,229 square miles, and the total population consists of 65,200,000 people. Two things separate Egypt from its neighbors, the ocean or sparsely populated desert. (Hopkins & Saad, n.d.) The Mediterranean Sea lies to the north of the country; therefore, the red sea lies directly south, and the western desert separates the country from Libya and North Africa. (Hopkins & Saad, n.d.) A major terrain feature that sustains most of the population is the Nile River. Furthermore, the Nile begins at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, where it travels north, eventually draining into the Mediterranean Sea. (Hopkins & Saad, n.d.) Although most people consider the Nile an Egyptian River, it flows
Ancient Egypt is located along the Nile River of Northeastern Africa. More specifically, it is the territory where ancients Egyptians lived in the valley of the delta and the Nile. It was a thriving civilization for more than 3,000 years, from about the time of 3300 BC to 30BC.
Due to diverse geo-climatic conditions prevalent in different parts of the globe, different types of natural disasters like floods, droughts, earthquakes, cyclones, landslides, and volcanoes etc may strike according to the vulnerability of the area.
31st Dec 2013 08:30PM It was 08:30pm and I was sitting in my office, enjoying the last day of this year. I was happy, my friends,my colleagues, my seniors everyone was happy because we were about to leave for the biggest party of the year. Every year our company organizes this biggest party and in this party they announces the best employee of the year. I was also in the list of nominees of the best employee and some of my seniors told me that in this year I will get this award. I was very very excited.
The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) (Fig. 1) in northern Turkey is a significant, seismically active structure (e.g. Barka 1992; Sengor et al. 2005). The NAF is a 1200 km-long dextral strike-slip fault which extends from the town of Karliova in eastern Turkey, paralleling the southern coast of the Black sea, across the Northern Aegean Sea, central and mainland Greece, eventually linking with the Hellenic subduction zone (e.g. Barka 1992; Barka et al. 2000; Sengor et al. 2005). The NAF is part of a larger zone of deformation called the North Anatolian Shear Zone (NASZ), but currently seismic activity is largely confined to the narrow, mostly through-going NAF (Sengor et al. 1985; Sengor et al. 2005).
