A tsunami is a series of waves generated by large, sudden displacements of water, such as during an earthquake beneath the sea floor. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and other underwater disturbances. When generated, tsunamis propagate outward from their source, very like the ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond but on a much larger scale. They can cause widespread destruction when they reach land, flooding well inland and often resulting in loss of life and property damage.

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 will be generated when the seafloor 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.

4. Why the tsunami can occur?


Answer : A tsunami will be generated when the seafloor 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.
