Tsunami In Italy
About 8000 years ago, a massive tsunami devastated the coasts of the Mediterranean affecting eastern Sicily, southern Italy, Albania, Greece , North Africa from Tunisia to Egypt, going down to the coasts of the Near East from Palestine, Syria and Lebanon.
[7] The cause was the sinking in the sea a mass of 35 cubic kilometers of material, which separated from Etna, following an earthquake of great magnitude. The initial wave that was generated more than 50 meters high and reached extreme offshoots of the Eastern Mediterranean in 3 or 4 hours, traveling at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour. The upheaval resulted in the sudden disappearance of many coastal settlements from the Neolithic times, as has been shown by archaeological findings on the coast of Israel. The study that led to the demonstration of this cataclysmic event was conducted by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, with funding from the Department of Civil Protection in 2006.
In fairly recent times various sources report that a tsunami following the earthquake
Val di Noto of
1693, when a giant wave devastated the east coast of Sicily
after the sea had retreated hundreds of meters. In this case it is considered the epicenter of the earthquake was located beneath the seabed, about thirty miles, off the coast of Augusta
.
The Messina earthquake of 1908 triggered a tsunami of awesome violence that spilled on coastal areas around the Strait of Messina
with devastating waves estimated, depending on the location the east coast of Sicily, from 6 m to 12 m in height. The tsunami caused in this case thousands of victims, aggravating the budget due to the earthquake.
A movement of water smaller than a tsunami occurred in December
2002 in the Tyrrhenian Sea . Although small, the wave generated by the collapse into the sea of \u200b\u200ba ridge of the volcano Stromboli
, several meters high, destroyed part of the coastal areas inhabited the island of Stromboli is also causing damage and disruption to navigation.
