Tsunami are giant wave caused by earthquakes or volcanic
eruptions under the sea.
How do tsunamis occur?
 Tsunamis can occur in the event of a disturbance that causes
large amounts of water movement, such as volcanic
eruptions, earthquakes, landslides and meteors that fall to the
earth.
 The tsunami waves drove at speeds of hundreds of km / h in
the deep ocean and hit the land with a height of 30 meters or
more. As is known the wave of big waves only occurs at sea
level while billions of tons of water in the middle and the
seabed remains calm.
