BY NATHAN HUNT

 A tsunami starts when a huge volume of water quickly shifted this rapid movement can happen as the result of an underwater earthquake (when the sea floor quickly moves up or down (a rock slide, a volcanic eruption, or another high – energy event.

A tsunami can travel at well over 970 kph (600 mph in open ocean – as fast as a jet flies. It can take only a few hours for a tsunami to travel across entire ocean. A regular wave ( generated by the wind) travels up to about 90 km/hr.

Tsunamis have an extremely long wavelength ( wavelength is the distance between the crest and top of the wave and the crest of the next wave )—they can be a hundred miles long between to successive waves ( is also very long about one hour deep.)

 Tsunamis are very rare. There are roughly six major tsunamis each century. Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbor wave.

Tsunami warning systems exist in many places around the world. As scientist continuously mentor seismic activity( earthquakes. A series of buoys float off the coast and monitor changes in sea level. Unfortunately, since tsunamis are not very tall in height when they are out at sea. Dentation is not easy and there are many false alarms, sirens at affected beaches my be activated – do not ignore them!!!!!!!!!

“ A tsunami will come suddenly. So when you feel a strong earthquake, leave the shore immediately!!”
