Causes and power of tsunamis

When the earthquake source is located at the bottom of the sea, it will form a tsunami and generate huge waves to attack the coastal areas of the continent. Observe the formation of tsunamis through experimental equipment. Enable visitors to intuitively understand the entire process of a tsunami from its occurrence to its end, as well as the harm it causes to the underwater environment, sea surface environment, and ships.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

A tsunami is a destructive wave generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, underwater landslides, or meteorological changes. The speed of a tsunami can reach up to 700-800 kilometers per hour and can cross the ocean within a few hours; The wavelength can reach several hundred kilometers and propagate for thousands of kilometers with minimal energy loss; In the vast ocean, the wave height is less than one meter, but when it reaches shallow waters along the coast, the wavelength shortens and the wave height increases sharply, reaching tens of meters, forming a "water wall" containing enormous energy.
