Who were the first settle in Ireland were?
Little is known about the people who first inhabited Ireland during the stone age about 9000 years ago. It is believed that the first people came from the north of Spain, by boat. We known nothing about their language or what they called themselves, and little about their culture except from what we have found in archaelogical excavations. There is genetic evidence of people in Ireland that can be traced back to the region in northern Spain, proving the link.
What is the destructive ocean wave produced by an earthquake?
There are 2 ways. One way is when large waves have a backwash that is stronger than the swash. The stronger backwash causes more materials to be removed from the beach instead of being deposited. The other way is when there is a storm, strong winds produce large waves which pound against the coast and remove large amounts of materials from it.
