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.
Anything that rapidly displaces a large volume of water can cause a tsunami. Typically, tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, but landslides, volcanic eruptions, calving icebergs, and (very rarely) meteorite impacts can also generate tsunamis. These types of events can cause large disturbances in the surface of the ocean, and when gravity pulls the water back down, the tsunami is born.
