Trust me, you don’t want to get caught under a tsunami! Tsunamis are one of the world’s most powerful natural forces. They can swallow up islands in minutes. They can flood and destroy villages. They can create huge amounts of damage. But do you know exactly what at sunami (pronounced soo-NAH-mee)is? They are huge, mighty waves in the huge wave. This is how tsunamis are born! Other natural disasters like landslides, volcanic eruptions, and glaciers breaking off can also cause tsunamis. Once the water starts moving because of the force of the disaster, large waves begin to ripple out. These waves can move very fast. They have been recorded at speeds up to 500 miles per hour! They can also move across very long distances. At first, the waves of the tsunami may not seem that tall. That’s because when the waves travel through the deep parts of the ocean, the top of each wave is very short. But as that wave approaches shallower water, it grows in height. Remember, the tsunami travels quickly. If you are sitting on a beach, you may not see the wave coming at first. But when the wave arrives, it will be like a towering wall of water. Some waves are as tall as 100 feet high. This wave will rush in and flood the area within minutes. It may be followed by other waves as well.Though tsunamis can happen anywhere, they usually occur in specific areas like the Pacific Ocean. The countries along the coastline like Japan, Chile, or even the United States are more at risk. The biggest tsunami ever recorded happened in 1958 in Lituya Bay, Alaska.The massive wave was over 1,720 feet tall, and it wiped out trees, vegetation, and everything else in its way. To increase public safety, scientists can detect when earthquakes are coming. They created the Pacific Tsunami Warning System, based in Hawaii. The detectors can track the earthquakes that may cause tsunamis. If the tsunami is detected early enough, people canbe warned and can leave the coastline.As scary as tsunamis can be, you don’t need to worry too much about them. They don’t happen that often. Only about two tsunamis happen every year. And it is said that massive, really destructive tsunamis only happen about every fifteen years. So don’t worry,you will probably never experience one!
