The consequences are appalling, their elimination requires a lot of time and resources. But the worst thing is that it can not be stopped. The article describes popular films about floods and tsunamis. The list is presented below.

The day after tomorrow (2004)

Usually films about floods and tsunamis or other natural disasters describe events relating to one continent or state. In this same picture, destruction threatens the entire planet. And it begins with the fact that different points of the globe begin to hit hail, earthquake, tornado and tsunami. Experienced climatologist Jack Hall already predicted the likelihood of such sudden and destructive natural disturbances. He and the US government reported on the imminent offensive of the ice age, but few people were interested in his words.

In the meantime, New York covers the tsunami, flooding it completely. And then under the influence of low temperatures the city turns into one big glacier. In such conditions, it is almost impossible to survive. But Jack still goes there, because somewhere there, amidst endless ice, he hopes to find his son.

Movies about floods and tsunamis in Japan are quite popular . Scientists of this state after prolonged studies notice a slow shift of the tectonic plate. And if this goes on, then in a few decades the country can completely go under water. Although there are other opinions, for example, that the catastrophe will happen in the very near future.

Naturally, a scientist who has received such results, no one is going to listen. In his circles he becomes an outcast and a laughingstock. While the earth under the feet of the inhabitants of Japan does not start to tremble, proving the truthfulness of his theory.

From this moment, a large-scale operation begins to carry out the most difficult rescue operations, until the end of which some may not survive.

He reports that a strong flash in the sun formed the "Neutrino stream", which now heats the core of the Earth. Adrian immediately reports this to the US president, who sends information to leaders of other countries.

The outcome of the G8 summit is the construction of arena ships, which in the event of a catastrophe will help save humanity. But the tickets for them are worth a lot of money. In addition, there are too few of them to save every inhabitant of the Earth. So, someone will have to survive on their own.

This is an interpretation of the Biblical legend about the Great Flood, where it is a question of a strong and strong-willed man who was destined to save all life on Earth from the impending catastrophe.

God laid this mission on his shoulders, because he was going to purify this world of sinners, and Noah was not. It was required of him to build an ark, and in this he was assisted by heavenly ministers. But it is allowed to take a family, as well as each creature in pairs, in order to again populate the Earth after the flood. But to fulfill this mission will not be easy, because there are too many applicants who want to get on the ark.
