Tsunami

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor


suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a
giant paddle, producing powerfull water waves at the ocean
surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the
earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach
the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the
continental shelf. The part of the earth crust that slopes, or
rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.
A stunami washes ashore with often-disastrous effects
such as severe flooding. Loss of lives due to drowning, and
damge to property.
A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a
disturbance along the ocean floor. This distubance can be an
earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is
undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow
water, this fast travelling wave grows very large.
