Tsunami

The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese which means harbor ("tsu") and wave ("nami").
A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a
massive scale.

A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying
water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate boundaries. Subduction of
earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunamis, and occur where denser oceanic plates slip
under continental plates.

Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind
the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area.

stored, the cocoa beans that have been fermented then need to be dried.

of the cocoa beans separate from the beans kernel. As the shell is dry and light, it can be winnowed to
throw up the shell.

The next process is crushed the cocoa beans to liquefy the cocoa butter and produce the chocolate
liquid. This chocolate liquid tastes bitter. Then , to reduce the bitterness it needs to be conching. This is
