President’s Message August, 2014

President’s Rport  August 11, 2014 It has been an interesting learning experience for me as a first-time president of the AOAO.

WHAT ARE TSUNAMI’S??

TSUNAMI’S   It can be many miles long, from 1 to 100 feet high, traveling at 400 miles per hour. This ocean monster is known as a tsunami and it can wreak havoc on coastal populations and landscapes.

Tsunamis can be generated by landslides, volcanic eruptions, or even meteorite impacts in the ocean. But they are most often caused by an earthquake where there’s a sudden displacement of the ocean floor. When that happens, there’s a transfer of energy from the seafloor to the ocean, causing waves on the surface to radiate outward in all directions. In
