where and when did the earthquake happend?

on January 26, 2001, at 08:46 AM local time a earthquake occurred in north-western India, Gujarat.
Location of epicenter was at Bhuj, Gujarat, India.

how did it heppend?

The Indo-Australian and the Eurasian Plate collide into each other at the rate of around 2cm per year. As neither can sub duct, the land where the two plate met was forced upwards.Eventually this pressure is released, thus causing the earthquake.  Magnitude of between 7.6 and 7.7 on the Richter scale.

Human Impact

After the disaster took place, there was high demand for food, water, and medical care for survivors. Due to the mysterious effects many survivors require persistent medical attention.

tsunamis

Many tsunamis occur each year, but one of the most deadly tsunamis occurred in 2004. The tsunami was triggered by an undersea Megathrust earthquake. The earthquake, known as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, was the second biggest tsunamis ever recorded, the Magnitude is between 9.1 and 9.3. The earthquake set off the tsunami.

How does the tsunami happend

  Is a catastrophic tsunami waves, usually by the source on the seabed within the next 50 kilometers, more than 6.5 Richter scale earthquake in the seabed. Underwater or coastal landslides or volcanic eruptions can also be caused by the tsunami. In a shock, the shock wave in the sea in order to expand the circle, spread to great distances, as pebbles falling into the shallow waves generated by the same pond. Tsunami wavelength than the maximum depth of the sea also, and orbital motion in the seabed near the block did not by much, no matter the depth of the ocean, the wave can be spread over the past. 

What is geography?

what is geography?

 As everybody know that geography is a science about the earth; environment.
But there are something people may don't know that geo also has 2 types.
The first one is human geography and physical geo. Human geography concerns the understanding of the dynamics of cultures, societies and economies, and physical geography concerns the understanding of the dynamics of physical landscapes and the environment, so there were some people say that the geo is a social sciences, I may say yes, because as my mind, I think the geography is a way to know the human history and the history of the earth and other way

why we studying gergraphy?

 the geo also is a way to build sciences, for example physics and biology both of them is basic on the geography. I think it is why my school teach us geo, and as I know there not only our school, there are other school also think the geography is a way to enlighten students.
Anyways the contribution of geography to society is multifold: it can provides people with a better understanding of the place; regions and countries in which they live. Geography manages the place of the earth as a city manager and It further adds the spatial and integrative dimension and holistic perspective to various planning, forecasting and decision making processes.
