The word tsunami comes from two Japanese words, “Tsu” or harbor and “Nami” for wave or harbor wave. Tsunamis are the world’s deadliest and most destructive waves. Sometimes tsunamis are referred to as tidal waves, although they have nothing to do with the tides. A tsunami is a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced. Earthquakes, mass movements above or below water, some volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, underwater earthquakes, large asteroid impacts and testing with nuclear weapons at sea all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can be devastating due to the immense volumes of water and energy involved.
