What Causes Tsunami?
Tsunami is a wave that is way, way bigger than other waves. A Tsunami is formed after an earthquake where the ground shakes, then the sea goes way right back then comes back and causes a humongous wave that can destroy anything and everything in its way.
A volcanic eruption also causes a tsunami. The eruption can either be underwater or on land. A submarine or underwater earthquake has a similar effect like the earthquake on land as it makes the ground shakes and causes the water above to form into big ripples that eventually turn into a tsunami.
An underwater volcanic eruption can also cause a tsunami which can be very deadly. When the tsunami hits the land, it can create a lot of damage to properties, buildings, plants and animals. People can get seriously injured or die. But a lot of people also survive in the tsunami if they are lucky or if they were able to escape from it by running to higher grounds.
Tsunami is one of the most dangerous disasters that can happen to us.
In Indonesia in 2004, a tsunami killed 230, 000 people the day after Boxing Day.
