Identification
-
Tsunamis form when an earthquake deep under the ocean causes massive amounts of water to be displaced.
Significance
-
Tsunamis begin far out in the ocean but move onto land after traveling up to 5,000 miles in the water. They can be up to 60 miles long.
-
Considerations
-
Rivers and streams which meet the ocean are vulnerable to tsunamis. It's best to stay away from these places until the danger has passed.
Warning
-
Earthquakes are nature's way of informing the population of a possible pending tsunami. Another sign is a rapid rise and fall of the ocean or of river water.
Misconceptions
-
Many people believe that tsunamis are tidal waves, but they are not the same thing. Technically, a tidal wave is a regularly occurring rise of water caused by the Earth's rotation.
