Tsunami
The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese
which means harbour (“tsu”) and wave (“nami”). A
tsunamigk is a series of waves generated when
water in a lake or the 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 tsunamis, 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.
