Tsunamis

Tsunamis
What I know?
  • Animals can sense a Tsunami approaching because of their superior sense of hearing.


  • Tsunamis mostly happen in Japan. 


  • Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbour (Tsu) wave (nami).


  • Tsunamis can be caused after huge Earthquake in the sea or ocean.


  • A Tsunami is a very big and strong wave, that can washed away everything that goes in his way.



What I want to know?
  • Are Tsunamis fast?

  • How do they form?

  • Can they cause something else?

  • Can Tsunamis be a different colour?

  • Can Tsunamis not only be in seas and oceans?

  • How many people died by Tsunamis?

       
 What I learn't?
 
  • When tsunamis are near the coast, they slow down but but increase in height.

  • Tsunamis used to be referred to as tidal waves but aren’t anymore because they have nothing to do with the tides.

  • Some tsunamis may not appear on shore as a huge wave but as a quickly surging tide.
