Tsunami is a Japanese word used to designate a tsunami, which literally means "wave in the harbor" or "in the bay" (tsu = port or bay, nami = waves). Despite having Japanese origin, this word has gained popularity and is already used throughout the world.

A tsunami is a wave of long period of time, which spreads with great speed through the ocean. When it reaches the coast, it possesses a great destructive power, such is its strength that it can devastate relatively large buildings, and even inland. It is among the largest natural disasters facing countries with coasts.

This is how tsunamis are formed

A tsunami is a wave that spreads in the sea and is caused by an underwater earthquake, a landslide, a volcanic eruption or the fall of a meteorite. As the first cause is the most frequent we will focus on it. The vast majority of earthquakes occur in faults. These are fractures in the earth's crust that accumulate tension, which is released in the earthquake: something like stretching an elastic until it escapes us.
