The 5 Bloodiest Battles in History. Every victory comes at a price. Here we look at the staggering cost of human life in five of historyâs fiercest confrontations where the sheer number of warrior-dead defies imagination. Much of a soldierâs life is spent awaiting and preparing for war. When the moment to take action does come, it is usually bloody, confusing, and over quickly.
From observations of scientists and historical sources, we know today that Tsunamis can occur in all larger seas of the world. Thus, fatal tsunamis occur in geologically less active oceans such as the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean or the Mediterranean as well.
Tsunamis can be generated by any disturbance that displaces a large amount of water, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorites or landslides into the water or below its surface. The tsunamis that hit the shorelines of 11 countries on Dec. 26, 2004, were triggered by a megathrust earthquake.
