Wave goodbye to plate tectonics

What is a Tsunami A series of waves that are caused by a large displacement of water 90% of tsunami are generated by earthquakes Can also be caused by: Volcanic eruptions Underwater explosions Landslides (above and below water)

How it’s made

Tsunami in Motion Undetectable in the middle of the ocean Large wavelengths (400km) Only have a wave height of 50cm Draw a diagram here Waves move much quicker in the deep water 800km an hour Slows down as it gets closer to shore

Tsunami at Shore A Tsunami which was 30cm in height (deep water) can be 10 m in length when it hits shore
