The term tsunami comes from two Japanese words that mean "harbor" and "wave". A tsunami is
a series of large waves generated by an abrupt movement on the ocean floor that can result from
an earthquake, an underwater landslide, a volcanic eruption or - very rarely - a large meteorite
strike.
However, powerful undersea earthquakes are responsible for most tsunamis. Seismologists say
only earthquakes measuring greater than 7.0 on the Richter scale can produce a major tsunami.
Most earthquakes that generate tsunamis - including Friday's jolt off Japan's eastern coast - occur
in areas called seduction zones, where pieces of the Earth's crust press against each other.
Seduction means that one tectonic plate slides beneath another and sinks deep into the Earth's
mantle.
The friction between two slow-moving plates of the Earth's crust creates vast amounts of seismic
energy which is released in the form of an earthquake. When a strong undersea earthquake
strikes a relatively short distance below the sea floor, it abruptly pushes up one of the immense
plates of the Earth's crust. That suddenly displaces an enormous amount of ocean water which
becomes a tsunami, spreading outward in every direction from the epicentre of an earthquake -
like ripples on a pond, only on a much larger scale.
