What is a Tsunami?
A Tsunami is not just a single wave, but a series of ocean waves called a wave train caused by an underwater earthquake, by a volcanic eruption, landslide, rapid changes in atmospheric pressure, or a meteorite.

Incredible Tsunami Facts
Fact 1: An underwater earthquake, a volcano eruption or a landslide mostly causes a tsunami.
Fact 2: Only on very few occasions a tsunami is caused by a giant meteor in the ocean.
Fact 3: Tsunami waves can be as huge as 100 feet.
Fact 4: About 80% of the tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean’s Ring of Fire.
Fact 5: Tsunami is a term specific to Japan, which literally means a harbor wave (tsu = harbor + nami = wave) reflecting Japan’s tsunami-prone history.
Fact 6: Tsunami is also commonly known as killer waves.
Fact 7: The first wave of a tsunami is usually not the strongest; successive waves get bigger and stronger.
Fact 8: Tsunamis have great erosion potential, stripping beaches of sand that may have taken years to accumulate and undermining trees and other coastal vegetation. It is capable of inundating, or flooding, hundreds of meters inland past the typical high-water level.
Fact 9: The fast-moving water associated with the inundating tsunami can crush homes and other structures in the coastal area. Tsunamis may reach a maximum vertical height onshore above sea level, often called a run-up height, of tens of meters.
Fact 10: The tsunami that occurred at 0758 local time on 26 December 2004 (0058 GMT) in the Indian Ocean is known to be the most powerful earthquake that has occurred to date.
Fact 11: The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 had an epicenter of 9.0 magnitude(“megathrust”)on the Richter scale.
Fact 12: The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 hit 14 countries from Thailand to Africa, killing around 250000 people.
Fact 13: Number of people injured in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was over 500,000, and potential additional deaths from infectious diseases were 150,000. Up to 5 million people lost homes or access to food and water, and 1.5 million have been wounded, displaced or lost families. One million people left without the means to make a living.
Fact 14: The majority of people who died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami were women and children. Around a third of the dead were children.
Fact 15: The Indian Ocean tsunami that took place in December 2004 was estimated to have energy of 23,000 atom bombs.
Fact 16: During the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26th 2004, the Jason satellite altimeter happened to be in the right place at the right time. As some satellites only pass over a particular location about once a month, so it’s about luck to spot a tsunami since they travel so quickly.
Fact 17: Tsunamis are the most common in Japan, and off-late they have been spreading across many other countries.
Fact 18: The length of a tsunami can be as long as 100 kilometers, and the distances of a continually occurring tsunami can be as far as 1 hour.
Fact 19: Scientists believe that in the year 1700, a tsunami of magnitude 9 occurred in the Pacific Ocean in the northwest and caused massive flooding and damage in Japan.
Fact 20: Tsunamis can travel as fast as 5000 miles per hour without being noticed and can cross the entire ocean in less than a day.
