Interesting facts Tsunamis can collapse then be formed again and again. Tsunamis can also be formed by a volcanoes, landslides, changes in the atmosphere or by a meteorite. A tsunami is a huge series of waves called a wave train. In the deepest part of the sea tsunamis are around 1 to 3 feet tall. Sailors won’t realize that the tsunami wave is passing beneath them. The Indian ocean tsunami of 2004 killed more than 216,000 people, possibly as many as 283,000. Tsunami’s can travel as fast as a jet plane per hour. A tsunami that travels thousands of miles across the ocean is called a transoceanic tsunamis or teletsunami. A tsunami that only reaches the coast near the point of where it started is called a local tsunami. A mega tsunami is a tsunami with extremely high waves are common to be caused by a landslide.
