Mauritius Tsunami - Live Tsunami Watch. Tsunami belongs to a Japanese word meaning "harbor wave".

Tsunamis are often referred to as tidal waves due to a quick rising of tides. They are different from the normal wave whereby they have very long wavelengths which normally measure between 10 and 500 km. These waves travel a faster rate than human can, that is around 700 km/h. Sometimes it is seen that tsunami appears in just one wave but they are often in multiple waves travelling in a series between a distance of a few minutes to hours apart, arriving in a so-called "wave train" reaching the sea floors.

Due to the wavelenths full of energy, tsunamis move a large volume of a body of water and relates to a fall in the sea level and bays get empty.

Everyday we hear low tides and high tides on weather news or we even witness them at the seaside. Fisherman often rely on these weather data in Mauritius for fishing in the lagoon. Have you ever ask yourself how the tides get low or high? How tides level are calculated to forecast at which time there will be low and high tides? The term "tides" is used to defined the rise and fall in the sea level. The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force on the Earth. The rise and the fall in the sea level is caused as the Moon and the Earth gets attracted to each other (like magnets).

Everyday, normally 2 high tides and 2 low tides occurs. Tsunami in Mauritius. Tsunami occurs from various sources, namely earthquakes, volcanic eruption, landslide and even meteorite impact. However, as we have kept witnessing from December 2004, after the earthquake of west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia with magnitude 9.1 (Mw) and another one in March 2011, off the north coast east of Japan, tsunami is mostly formed by earthquakes. Tsunami normally have long wavelengths reaching a distance of 10 and 500km at a speed of 700 km/h. At this speed, no man can stop this wave train. Can Mauritius be hit by tsunami? According to the seismic map of earthquakes occurring more frequently, it can be clearly seen that the tectonics plate passes across the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Rodrigues Island.

It can thus be said that Mauritius is vulnerable to tsunami occurring in the Indian Ocean. Cap Malheureux Mauritius Weather.
