Tsunami

Tsunami are water waves generated by a huge variety of disturbance on


the ocean floor. These disorders may be an earthquake, shifting plates,
or a volcanic eruption. Tsunami is not visible when they’re away at sea,
but once it reached shallow areas, this fast moving waves will get
bigger.

The tsunami also often mistaken as a tidal wave. This is because when it
reaches the mainland, this wave is more like a high tide than usual
resemble waves that reach the shore naturally by the wind. However,
the actual tsunami wave has nothing to do with the events of the tide.
Therefore, to avoid misinterpretation, oceanographers often use the
term seismic sea waves (seismic sea wave) to refer to the tsunami,
which is scientifically more accurate.

Tsunamis can be triggered by a variety of disorders (disturbance) large


scale to sea water, such as earthquakes, shifting plates, volcanic
eruption under the sea, or the collision of celestial bodies. Tsunamis can
occur when the seafloor moves suddenly and undergo a vertical
displacement.
