Tsunaamid
A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends
surges of water, sometimes reaching heights of
over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These
walls of water can cause widespread destruction
when they crash ashore.
WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI?
These awe-inspiring waves are typically
caused by large, undersea earthquakes at
tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean
floor at a plate boundary rises or falls
suddenly, it displaces the water above it and
launches the rolling waves that will become a
tsunami.
WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI?
Tsunamis may also be caused by
underwater landslides or volcanic
eruptions. They may even be launched,
as they frequently were in Earth’s
ancient past, by the impact of a large
meteorite plunging into an ocean.
