2.Earthquakes and Tsunamis
It is surprising to learn that, according to reliable estimates, there are more than a million earthquakes every year! Mercifully, most of them are so small or occur in such remote corners of the globe that they escape detection. Even so, as many as 20,000 earthquakes are recorded each year – that’s approximately 50 a day!
The earthquake which occurred on 26th December 2004 was the strongest for four decades (measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale) and one of the strongest since records began in 1899. Not since 1964 has there been an earthquake registering nine or more on the Richter scale. The quake in that year, which occurred on 28th March in Alaska, registered 9.2 and was even larger than another earthquake Alaska had suffered just a few years previously, in 1957, which had registered 9.1. But neither of these heads the list of the strongest earthquake ever recorded – that dubious accolade goes to the quake which occurred in 1960 in Chile and registered 9.5 on the Richter scale.
All of these earthquakes caused "tsunamis" (sometimes called "tidal waves" although they have nothing to do with the tides). Tsunamis occur when something happens to cause a large displacement of water in the sea--a volcano erupting under the sea, for example, or two of the plates that form the Earth's crust slipping as they press against each other (as happened in the recent earthquake which had its epicentre near the Indonesian island of Sumatra).
Tsunamis are capable of travelling at speeds of over 900 kilometres an hour, at least in deep water. However, they slow down as they near land and shallower water, becoming higher in the process and creating the "wall of water" effect. Even so, tsunamis can still be travelling at speeds in excess of 50 kilometres per hour when they reach the beaches. Perhaps the most famous tsunami up to now is that which followed the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa on 27th August 1883--an enormous wave that swept over the ill-fated Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra.

1.Землятресение в Самоа
Минувшая неделя ознаменовалась серией крупных природных катаклизмов на планете. Особенно сильно пострадал от капризов природы Азиатский регион. Сильное землетрясение магнитудой 8,3 балла произошло во вторник в районе между островами Западного и Восточного (Американского) Самоа. Подземные толчки привели к возникновению цунами, на побережье островов обрушились волны высотой до шести метров, вызвавшие значительные разрушения. Цунами, вызванное мощным землетрясением в районе островов Самоа в Тихом океане, за считанные часы прокатилось по территории архипелага, унося с собой жизни людей. Многие из прибрежных самоанских поселений, а также несколько туристических курортов почти полностью уничтожены. По последним данным число жертв разбушевавшейся стихии превысило 100 человек. Разрушительное цунами на Самоа напомнило миру о стихии, которая почти пять лет назад привела к гибели около 230 тысяч человек в странах Азии и Африки после индонезийского землетрясения. По меньшей мере 1100 человек погибли в результате сериимощных землетрясений на индонезийском острове Суматра. Наибольшее число погибших - в индонезийском городе Паданг, но данные о жертвах поступают и из других районов Суматры.В Паданге разрушено более 75% зданий, повреждены газопровод, водопровод, нарушена связь. Первое землетрясение вблизи острова Суматра произошло в минувшую среду в 17.16 по местному времени в 57 километрах от города Париаман (провинция Западная Суматра), подземные толчки ощущались даже в Малайзии и Сингапуре. Спустя полчаса после этого на Суматре были зафиксированы новые подземные толчки, магнитуда которых составила 6,2. На следующий день произошло еще несколько землетрясений. Евросоюз заявил, чтонаправит гуманитарную помощь пострадавшимот разрушительного землетрясения в Индонезии на общую сумму 3 миллиона евро.
