TSUNAMI Tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water‚ typically an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes‚ volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices)‚ landslides‚ glacier calving’s meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami are devastating. They are one of the world’s worst natural disasters that

a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that destroyed Japan and surrounding states. The tsunami was formed by an earthquake underwater. Underwater earthquakes happen because of the collision of plates and it causes the fault line to slide‚ when a force pushes the water upwards that causes many tsunamis which gradually increases till they strike land or shallow water. This in this case happened to Japan. Before this major tsunami happened in Japan many people didn’t know that they had a magnitude of 5 or higher

How tsunamis occur. As one plate subducts below another (moves underneath)‚ pressure builds for many years resulting in a section of the mega-thrust giving away. As this section gives away‚ it ruptures the ocean floor‚ resulting in a massive displacement of water‚ causing a tsunami. Tsunamis are barely felt as a ripple on the ocean’s surface‚ but as the waves reach land‚ they increase in size as the water becomes shallower.
