As the tsunami waves near the shallow coastal areas they intensify in velocity and shorten in wave length, when they arrive on to shallow water the energy in the wave is compressed and magnified.

After the quakes and tsunami from Banda Ache more and more coastal communities are aware of the relation between a quake that is felt and the governments issuing tsunami warnings for areas that are farther away from the epicenter, more and more seismic stations need to be implemented along some of the more active zones 1 to have warnings and 2 to be able to study the movement of the earths crust.
After the 8.+ quake in Chile the earth rang like a giant bell with the waves bouncing back and forth for several days, although the earth has a very low frequency resonance, the earthquake waves travelled long enough for the geologists to map the vertical cores of molten magma and some features that were unknown at the time, this is very interesting for me, I love earthquakes unfortunately I tend to sleep through most of them you can fire a canon next to me and I will not steer, but I react to my wife telling me to turn in order not to snore, interesting!
Hasta la proxima sacudida asi los dejo quietecitos.
Until the next shaking so I leave you very still.
