Sentence examples for effect of tsunami from inspiring English sources
The effect of tsunami wavelength, topographic slope, and sediment supply are examined using the numerical simulation.
The two breakwaters in the region reduce the effect of tsunami waves on the coast and port environments.
In that case, the effect of tsunami dispersion is gradually decreased (i.e., Eq. 12 gradually approaches the LLW equation Eq. 8) as the tsunami wave penetrates toward the PML region.
The presence of erosional forms is an indication of a huge wave that impacted the coast promontory with a high-energy flow; these types of forms have been observed and attributed to the effect of tsunamis because of their flooding plastic flow (water + debris) that could shape the bedrock even at a distance from the coastline.
The performance of the port structures and possible effects of tsunami on port operations have been discussed.
Therefore, it is reasonable to expect the submarine effects of tsunami to vary spatially as a result of differing bathymetry.
Geological and environmental impacts of onshore tsunami deposits have been intensively studied in recent years (see Bourgeois, 2009 for a review), whereas the offshore behaviour and effects of tsunami waves during run-up and backwash are still poorly understood.
If the Song et al. theory is correct and its effect on tsunami height is of the magnitude they claim, it would highlight a major gap in our previous understanding of tsunami generation.
Assessment of such damaging effects of tsunamis inside the harbors is important for the management of post-disaster operations.
However, a complete tsunami inundation analysis in high resolution will provide a better understanding of the effects of tsunamis on a specific critical structure located in the Marmara Sea.
We further emphasize that the source fault, fault slip, and tsunami inundation models presented in this study are preliminary (i.e., values assigned to assess the potential effects of tsunamis) and will be refined as more geomorphologic, stratigraphic, and geophysical data become available.
