Parliamentary - is a system of government in which the ministers of the executive branch are
drawn from the legislature and are accountable to that body, such that the executive and
legislative branches are intertwined. In such a system, the head of government is both de facto
chief executive and chief legislator.

Parliamentary systems are characterized by no clear-cut separation of powers between the


executive and legislative branches, leading to a different set of checks and balances compared
to those found in presidential systems. Parliamentary systems usually have a clear
differentiation between the head of government and the head of state, with the head of
government being the prime minister or premier, and the head of state often being a figurehead,
often either a president (elected either popularly or by the parliament) or a hereditary monarch
(often in a constitutional monarchy).

34. Democratic - a form of government in which sovereign power resides in the people and is
exercised by them or by officers they elect to represent them

35. Republic - a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who
can elect people to represent them; and a form of government whose head of state is not
a monarch; "the head of state in a republic is usually a president"

Tsunami - is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. This
sudden motion could be an earthquake, a powerful volcanic eruption, or an underwater
landslide. The impact of a large meteorite could also cause a tsunami. Tsunamis travel across
the open ocean at great speeds and build into large deadly waves in the shallow water of a
shoreline. A tsunami is a series of water waves (called a tsunami wave train) caused by the
displacement of a large volume of a body of water, such as an ocean. The original Japanese
term literally translates as "harbor wave." Tsunamis are a frequent occurrence in Japan;
approximately 195 events have been recorded. Due to the immense volumes of water and
energy involved, tsunamis can devastate coastal regions. Casualties can be high because the
waves move faster than humans can run.
