Tidal Waves / Tsunamis



Tsunamis are giant waves formed in bodies of water such as oceans. They are formed from submarine, or under water earthquakes miles under the sea level.
These earthquakes produce massive vibrations that disrupt the water creating an underwater wave that moves in different directions and get larger as they enter shallow water. As it gets closer to shore, the vibrations break the water’s surface creating a small wave. As it reaches the shore the waves can reach higher than 40 feet high, and they can move almost as fast as a plane. But these waves are anything but productive, one of the most recent tsunamis killed over 300,000 people.
