Tsunamis are like giant waves that can travel across the whole ocean. They start when something big happens underwater, like an earthquake, and then they move really fast, sometimes all the way to faraway shores.
Examples
- Tsunamis are like giant waves created by an earthquake under the sea, they can travel all the way from one side of the ocean to the other.
- Tsunami waves don’t just crash right away; they can keep moving for hours before hitting land.
- A tsunami might start as a small wave in deep water, but it grows very big when it reaches shallow areas near the shore.
