Tsunami
The term of tsunami comes from the Japanese which means harbour ("tsu") and
wave ("nami"). A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or a
sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically
displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust
can occur at plate boundaries.
Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunami, and
occur where denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its
equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge
mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising
fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area.
