HOW A TSUNAMI HAPPENS ??

.. We all know that tsunamis are a series of

.
destructive waves and powerful. Tsunami is the

.
deadliest wave because the wave speed is incredibly
fast. But do you know how a tsunami can happens?
Tsunami originated from Japan, “tsu” meaning
harbor and “nami” meaning wave. They are
...
normally caused by landslides, earthquake,
volcanic eruptions in, or close to an ocean.
After some sort of underwater disturbance,
this causes energy to rise up to sea level
pushing the water high into the air. Gravity

..
kicks in an pulls it down again and then
consequently causing the water to filter out

..
into many different directions

When tsunami begins to approach the shore the

energy in teh wave is compressed. As a result, the

..
water is pushed up into the wave, resulting in a
powerful tsunami. If the trough hits the shoreline
first, it then causes the tide to drastically retreat.
 ..
So, tsunami happen because of natural disasters ....
such as earthquake or volcanic eruptions. People who
live near the shoreline have to be careful because
they are threatened by tsunamis whenever there is an
earthquake
