Seafloor landslides point to ancient tsunamis

The seafloor off Australia’s east coast hints at underwater landslides some 15 million years ago, researchers say.

New research helps to identify regions at risk of large-scale earthquakes.

Predicting tsunamis is a complex task, but scientists’ efforts in improving warning times are saving lives.

Though the Indonesian earthquake on Wednesday was huge, it didn’t generate much of a tsunami. Why?

Masses of debris, including floating refrigerators, is making its way on ocean currents, towards the Hawaii and the US.

The Japan tsunami generated from one of the most destructive earthquakes was a rare double wave, says NASA.

Eleven million litres of water from Japan’s tsunami-ravaged nuclear complex are being pumped into the Pacific Ocean.
