How do you survive a tsunami if you are on the beach?

How much warning is there before a tsunami? Experts believe that a receding ocean may give people as much as five minutes' warning to evacuate the area. Remember that a tsunami is a series of waves and that the first wave may not be the most dangerous. The danger from a tsunami can last for several hours after the arrival of the first wave.

Is a magnitude 12 earthquake possible?

The magnitude scale is open-ended, meaning that scientists have not put a limit on how large an earthquake could be, but there is a limit just from the size of the earth. A magnitude 12 earthquake would require a fault larger than the earth itself. Then, has there ever been a 9.5 earthquake? The world's largest earthquake with an instrumentally documented magnitude occurred on near Valdivia, in southern Chile. It was assigned a magnitude of 9.5 by the United States Geological Survey. It is referred to as the "Great Chilean Earthquake" and the "1960 Valdivia Earthquake."

And another question, can you survive a tsunami with a life vest?

As our experiments demonstrated, it can be concluded that when people are engulfed within tsunami waves, PFDs will provide them with a higher chance of survival because they will remain on the surface of tsunami waves and are still able to breathe.
