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 are caused by violent seafloor movement associated with earthquakes, landslides, lava entering the sea, seamount collapse, or meteorite impact. The most common cause is earthquakes. See the percentages on the right for the geological events that cause tsunamis.Note that 72% of tsunamis are generated by earthquakes. A disturbance that displaces a large water mass from its equilibrium position can cause a tsunami.ee the percentages on the right for the geological events that cause tsunamis.
