The destruction caused by Tsunami stems mainly from the initial wave impact.
The destruction caused by Tsunami stems mainly from the loss of human life.
The destruction caused by Tsunami stems mainly from the impact of erosion of the shoreline.
The destruction caused by Tsunami stems mainly from the impact of waves, flooding and erosion.
What is the main result of Tsunami?

Can the consequences of a tsunami be influenced by human behavior?
Yes, the consequences of a Tsunami can be eliminated by proper planning.
Yes, the consequences of a Tsunami can be reduced by proper planning.
No, the consequences of a Tsunami cannot be influenced by human behavior.
We are still studying whether the consequences of a Tsunami can be influenced by human behavior.
How can the consequences of a tsunami be influenced by human behavior?
The consequences of a Tsunami can be influenced only by avoiding coastal areas.
The consequences of a Tsunami can be influenced only by building stronger sea-walls.
By developing effective coastal zone management and land use practices.
The consequences of a Tsunami can be influenced only by building better and more resilient buildings.
What do effective land use practices to reduce the consequences of a Tsunami include?
Building stronger seawalls and houses at the coast.
Promoting new development and population growth in areas of greater safety and less potential risk and promoting natural vegetation buffers such as mangroves and sand dunes.
Promoting high-rise building in the high-risk areas.
Focusing development in areas of recent Tsunami occurrences where Tsunami likelihood is now reduced.
