Seismic waves generated destroy coastal communities, killing about 230,000 people in one of the worst natural disasters of modern times.
The United States Geological Survey said a 6.7 magnitude earthquake was 280 km from the Pacific Ocean from the Philippines early Thursday (08/10/2009). Three more will follow in the vicinity of the northern Pacific islands of Vanuatu with an earthquake 7.8 294 km west of the island of Espiritu Santo.

Earthquake
An Earthquake (also known as an earthquake or tremor) has produced the result of a sudden release of energy in the earth's crust, the seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph.
The moment magnitude (or a report and mostly obsolete Richter size) of an earthquake is conventionally reported, with power 3 or less for most perceptible earthquakes of magnitude 7 and severe damage to large areas. Intensity of the vibrations on the Modified Mercalli scale measured.
What should you do?
1. If you tremble at the beach or near the ocean and feel the earth, you proceed immediately to a higher level. Do not expect a tsunami warning to be announced.
2. If you are at home and hear there is a tsunami warning, you should make sure that your whole family is aware of the tsunami. Your family needs to evacuate your house if you live in a tsunami evacuation zone.
3. If you do not go back on a ship or boat in the harbor, if you in the sea and a tsunami warning was issued for your area. Tsunamis can cause rapid changes in groundwater levels and unpredictable dangerous currents in harbors and ports.
Speed of tsunami
Tsunami wave can travel at the speed of a commercial jet plane, over 800 km / h. They can move from one side of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. The waves can be extremely dangerous and damaging when they reach the shore.

Tsunami is a series of waves of water, which is caused by the displacement of a large quantity of a body of water like an ocean.The original Japanese word literally means "harbor wave." Tsunamis are in Japan, together more than 195 events, the huge amounts of water and energy were involved recorded. Due Tsunamis can devastate coastal regions. Losses can be high because the waves can run faster than man.

den displacements in the sea floor, landslides, or volcanic activity. In the deep ocean, the tsunami wave may only be a few inches high. The tsunami wave may come gently ashore or may increase in height to become a fast moving wall of turbulent water several meters high.
