Jay : Tsunamis Despite the fact that a tsunami actually grows in height as it approaches a harbour, the term "tsunami"

derives from the Japanese

word harbour wave (Yeats).

Aaryan : A tsunami is defined as a seismic sea wave. These types of natural disasters are frequently caused by shallow earthquakes at subduction zones
with a magnitude of at least 7 (Abbott), which cause such waves to shoot outwards at speeds of up to 800 kilometres per hour towards coastlines (Yeats)

Jay: However, it is the volume of water present, not the speed of the wave, that allows a tsunami to be powerful (Yeats). As a tsunami approaches, there
is a sudden outpouring of water from the coast, followed by the great wave approaching on shore. Let us now look at the tsunami's sources:

Aaryan: Earthquakes cause more than 80% of tsunamis. However, tsunamis can be caused by landslides, volcanoes, weather, and even asteroids. Let us
now discuss how tsunamis occur:

Jay: The descending plate is absorbed by the overriding plate. However, they cling to each other, causing enormous friction.
. These frictional forces can accumulate energy for years

Aaryan: Let us now proceed to the end and show a smaller version of Tsunami in real life.
