Tsunami - long waves generated by the powerful influence of the whole mass of water in the ocean or other body of water.

The reason most tsunamis are underwater earthquakes, during which there is an abrupt shift (raising or lowering) of the area of the seabed.

The tsunami generated by an earthquake of any force, but large forces reach those that arise due to strong earthquakes.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, glaciers, meteorites and other damage above or below the water - all this has the potential to cause a tsunami.

Symptoms of tsunami
