  • A tsunami (plural: tsunamis or tsunami; from Japanese: 津波, lit. "harbor wave";
  • is a series of water waves
  • Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.

  • Tsunami are sometimes referred to as tidal waves
  • Tsunami and tides both produce waves of water that move inland, but in the case of tsunami the inland movement of water is much greater and lasts for a longer period, giving the impression of an incredibly high tide

    This shows the difference between tidal waves & tsunamis. Also how some tsunamis are caused.

  • A tsunami has all of these detrimental effects plus the added destructive power crashing waves.

  • As you many know a tsunami is caused by a strong earthquake on the ocean bed. The vibrations travel through the water traveling sometimes thousands of kilometers.
  • The immediate destruction is only the beginning of the damage.
  • On December 24, 2004, a massive 9.2 earthquake occurred of the islan
  • of Sumatra. It created a deadly series of tsunamis that swept Indonesia, India, Madagascar, and Ethiopia.
  • The water level becomes shallower causing the waves caused by the earthquake to compress and combine. This is what creates the massive and destructive waves that cause so much destruction.
  • devastating natural disasters known to man.
  • sweep away people, causing them to drown.

    The massive wave of water, as high as 10 metres in some parts, reached more than five kilometres inland. The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast amid warnings of a tsunami of between six and 10 metres. Towns and farms around Sendai city in northern Japan have been engulfed by a seven-metre tsunami, while a four-metre wave swamped parts of Kamaishi on the Pacific coast. Residents have been ordered to high ground and stay away from the coast as tsunamis can strike in several waves. Seismologists say the quake was 160 times more powerful than the one that devastated Christchurch last month.

      As Emperor, Montezuma lived a life of pure luxury in a palace with beautifully decorated rooms, amazing gardens with scented plants and herbs, water gardens with waterfalls, fountains and outdoor baths, hundreds of wives and concubines, and hundreds of servants. His palace zoo was filled with animals from all over his kingdom, and his royal aviaries consisted of 10 rooms full of birds with 300 servants to care for them.

    Tsunamis waves do not resemble normal waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide, and for this reason they are often referred to as tidal waves.
