Tsunamis
Deadly Waves (soo-nom-ee)
Tsunamis Damage
Tsunamis, depending on size and speed, can cause mass flooding, damage to property (cars, houses, etc.) And can be fatal and leave many people injured, or stranded until help arrives or the flood waters die down. From an article on s.m.s. tsunami warning, it states "The effects of a tsunami on a coastline can range from unnoticeable to devastating. The effects of a tsunami depend on the characteristics of the seismic event that generated the tsunami, the distance from its point of origin, its size (magnitude) and, at last, the configuration of the bathymetry (that is the depth of water in oceans) along the coast that the tsunami is approaching." (S.M.S.T.W.,2015)

It's about how tsunamis are created.
