A tsunami is a natural disaster more devastating than earthquakes, tornadoes and any other disaster you
can think of. For example, the tsunami which happed in Japan on March 11th, 2011 caused severe damage to
Japanese people on coastal areas, especially to Fukushima nuclear power plant. A tsunami occurs when huge
waves are formed after something under the ocean takes place to make large waves form. Erupting volcanoes
can also cause tsunami to occur. The waves start in one area but they move quickly in all different directions
once the tsunami begins. Tsunamis begin as an underwater earthquake. The force of the earth moving causes
the water to move and produce huge waves. Waves from a tsunami can travel through the water as fast as five
hundred miles per hour. As they approach the coast, they continue to grow in size before smashing down on
the cities and towns along the coastline. These waves can often be as high as 100 feet, causing much
destruction.
