A clutch of traditional blue-collar Melbourne suburbs have clocked the strongest price growth across the city over the past year, with their house median jumping more than 20 per cent.
Scientists have known for years that the shape of the seafloor plays a role in how tsunami waves build up as they approach the coastline.Underwater topography also determines why some areas get hit worse than others.But in the wake of the Tohoku-oki tsunami, scientists now know that seafloor topography affects the strength and height of a tsunami even in the deep ocean and at great distances from the genesis of the wave.cientists have known for years that the shape of the seafloor plays a role in how tsunami waves build up as they approach the coastline.
Tsunamis. If the earthquake occurs in the ocean, it can push up powerful waves, known as tsunamis. The sudden upward or downward movement of the seafloor during an earthquake creates large tsunami waves, similar to a child splashing in the bathtub. Earthquakes can also trigger tsunamis by unleashing underwater landslides, which also displace huge amounts of seawater. In this photo taken by a tourist Eric Skitzi from England, tourists watch as tsunami waves hit the shore from a safe place inside Casuarina Beach Hotel resort in Penang, northwestern Malaysia around 1:00pm in local time (0500GMT) Sunday, Dec. 26, 2004.
