 WHAT IS 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 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.
 COUSE OF THE TSUNAMI
An earthquake on the bottom of the sea gives rise to
an affliction of the seawater that caused by the change
of the profile of the ocean floor that generally occurs
because of a tectonic earthquake and perpendicular
(vertical) ground motion with the surface of the
seawater or earth surface. If the movements of the
ground are horizontal on the surface of the sea, there
will not happen tsunami.Even though the movement
of the ground is horizontal, but the energy of the
earthquake is big, and it can cause the collapse of
cliffs/hill on the sea automatically in which the
movement is perpendicular to the surface of the sea.
Although there is no earthquake that hits the land
directly which results vertical movement, the
condition of a cliff and hill in the sea has been
unstable and because of the force of gravity and ocean
currents that led to landslides, it causes the tsunami.
 THE PROCCESS OF TSUNAMI
Earthquake causes perpendicular layers motion of the earth. As a result, the sea bottom is
suddenly up and down, so that the balance of seawater was disturbed on it, similarly with
cosmic objects or meteors that fall from above. If the size of a meteor or landslide is quite big,
megatsunami can happen with hundreds of meters high.Vertical movement of the earth crust
because of a volcanic eruption, an earthquake, the avalanche or a meteor falling to earth can
cause the sea floor becomes up or down suddenly, therefore, it disturbs the balance of water
on it. This makes the occurrence of energy flow of seawater on the beach become large
waves so that tsunami happens.
Billows can spread to all directions. The energy which conceives in the wave of the tsunami is
fixed on the function of the altitude. The height of waves in the sea is only about 1 meter.
Thus, the rate of a wave cannot be felt by a ship that was in the middle of the sea. When it
approaches the coast, the speed of the tsunami of decline until about 30 miles per hour, but
its height has increased to reach tens of meters. When it reaches the coast, tsunami enters
the land until hundreds of meters, even kilometres.
 EFFECTS OF THE TSUNAMI

The victim of the tsunami is not a little.

The casualties are hit by sluggish water
flow and material that carried away by
the tsunami. Besides the victim, the
tsunami also has a negative impact on
the building, herbs, and pollution on
agricultural land, and water
Conclusion
Tsunamis are large sea waves triggered by underwater whirlpools due to plate
shifts,landslides,volcanic eruptions,and falling meteors. Tsunamis can travel at
very high speeds and can reach wave highhts of up to 30 meters
Tsunamis are potentially dangerous although they do not damage the coastline
too much. Earthquakes couses by seafloor movements orplate shifts often
couse tsunamis.
Well that was story about the tsunamis behind the proccess ,and i hope you
guys will learn about this too ,i think that was enough for know and thank you.

ATTENTION
AND
HAVE A NICE DAY FOR
EVERYONE’S WATCHING
