Tsunami is a word in Japanese language and originally means a great sea wave rushing into "tsu" pr port. In Japan tsunami denotes two types of meteorological tsunami, and the other is for tsunami generated by earthquake which also known as seismic sea wave.
The Sunda Strait is narrow and shallow in the eastern part, but wide and deep in the western part. The strait connects the Jawa Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is filled with mixed saline water from the Jawa Sea during all months but November, so that virtually no influence of the Indian Ocean is noted in the western part of the Jawa Sea (Suriaatmadja 1956).
Let me begin with a question: why is it that a university, traditionally charged with the academic functions of teaching and reseacrh, finds itself involved in environmental conservation?
Sunda Strait is located in between Sumatra adn Java, posses area of approximately 8, 138 sq. km.
