Mediterranean, North Atlantic prepares for UN-backed tsunami warning system test -- (Simulations will be carried out between 28 and 30 October)
UN, 23 October 2014 – Some 20 nations with coastlines on the North
Atlantic, and Mediterranean and Black Seas are set to participate in a
United Nations-supervised tsunami warning exercise to improve their
ability to respond to an alert and enhance regional coordination in the
event of a disaster.
In a press statement released today, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) – the body coordinating the warning test since its first implementation in 2005 – reported that four tsunami simulations will be carried out between 28 and 30 October in an effort to assess the overall reactivity of countries participating in the Tsunami Early Warning and Mitigation System for the North-eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and connected seas (NEAMTWS).

Panama Canal Turns 100 Amid Growing Pains, Competition
The Panama Canal turns 100 this week. Officially opened in 1914,
the 77-kilometer channel joins the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean at the
isthmus of Panama. It made the world smaller, creating a shortcut for
cargo ships that ply their trade from east and west. But 100 years
later the canal is straining from the demands of expanding global
trade. It may also be facing some serious competition as it navigates
the next 100 years.
Taking over 30 years to build, tens of thousands of workers - and more than 27 million kilograms of dynamite - it is considered one of the biggest engineering feats of the 20th century.

Marvelous Amazon River....The Pororoca Phenomenon (2VIDEO)
![]() |
Watch Video CCTV |
The Amazon River originates in the Andes Mountain in south Peru. It travels 6-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-two-point-six kilometers before feeding into the Atlantic Ocean. It passes through Ecuador, Columbia and Venezuela on its way to the sea. The Amazon’s river basin covers an area of more than seven million square kilometers. Its water yield is one ninth of the world’s total fresh water.
About 6600 billion square kilometers of water runs into the Atlantic. It is called ’the king of rivers’. The longest stretch of the Amazon is to be found in Brazil, and the people there are very proud of it. A clear boundary is formed at the place where the Amazon river meets the Rio Negro River. This boundary is about seven kilometers long.
