(EUROPA PRESS) - La colocación de hileras de colinas verdes estratégicamente dispuestas a lo largo de las costas, en lugar de grandes diques, pueden ayudar a evitar la destrucción provocada los tsunamis, al tiempo que preservan las vistas del océano y el acceso a la costa.Tue, 05 May 2020 13:24:00 +0200europapress-4bcf02d1388ec1e94072216860b2ed9e20200505132400https://www.notimerica.com/ciencia-tecnologia/noticia-mejor-colinas-ajardinadas-altos-muros-contener-tsunamis-20200505113948.htmlMADRID, 5 May.

The research was published on May 4 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Tue, 05 May 2020 06:29:00 +0200stanford-31322247c5c4eca2f7915b5a016e93d120200505062900https://www.terradaily.com/reports/Rethinking_tsunami_defense_999.htmlIn tsunami preparedness, it turns out there can be strength in beauty. Rows of green hills strategically arranged along coastlines can help to fend off destruction from tsunamis while preserving ocean views and access to the shore. For some communities, they may offer a better option than towering seawalls.Tue, 05 May 2020 05:42:00 +0200terradaily-0de24720bd5afc2add413c92a617b33220200505054200
