    Tsunamis are deadly waves caused by underwater disturbances like earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. They form when energy from these events causes water to rise quickly and travel outward in all directions from the source. As a tsunami approaches land, the wave energy compresses and pushes water upwards, potentially creating a powerful wave that can threaten coastal communities. People living near the shore need to be aware of the tsunami risk from earthquakes.

    EXPLANATION TEXT (GEOGRAPHY)

    WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?
    Tsunami originated from Japan “Tsu” meaning harbor and
    “Nami” meaning wave. Tsunami is the deadliest wave
    because the wave speed is incredibly fast.
    They are normally causes 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. Grativity kicks in and pulls it down again and then
    consequently causing the water to filter out into many
    different directions.
    When a tsunami begins to approuch the show the energy in
    the wave 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, tsunamis happen because of natural disasters such as
    earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. People who live near the
    shoreline have to be careful because they are threatened by
    tsunamis whenever there is an earthquake.
