Tsunamis
From Japan to Sri Lanka and Chile, tsunamis have wreaked havoc in the past few years, leaving a staggering toll of death and destruction in their frothy wake.
Seismic studies have helped scientists get better at predicting their arrival, although tsunami warning systems are still lacking in many parts of the world.
Pictured are waters retreating from the coast of Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami, which had been triggered by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake off Indonesia and the Indian Andaman Islands.
海嘯
從日本到斯里蘭卡再到智利，過去幾年發(fā)生的海嘯給人類造成浩劫，很多人被海嘯奪取生命，所造成的財產(chǎn)損失更是一個驚人數(shù)字。地震研究的發(fā)現(xiàn)幫助科學家更準確地預測海嘯，但世界上很多地區(qū)都未安裝海嘯預警系統(tǒng)。照片展示了2004年海嘯過后斯里蘭卡的沿岸景象，此時的海水已經(jīng)退卻。這場海嘯由襲擊印度尼西亞和印度安達曼群島的9級大地震引發(fā)。
