TSUNAMI
The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese which means harbor ("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 will be generated when the seafloor abruptly deforms and
vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's
crust can occur at plate boundaries.
Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunami,
and occur where denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain
its equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of
water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods
powerfully into the coastal area.
