Tsunamis

The video tutorial explains tsunamis, which are large ocean waves often caused by undersea earthquakes, particularly in the Pacific Ring of Fire. It describes how these waves form, grow, and impact coastal areas, sometimes reaching 1,000 feet inland and causing significant destruction. Volcanic eruptions can also trigger tsunamis. While predicting tsunamis is impossible, scientists can forecast their landfall once formed, allowing for warnings and evacuations.

How can scientists predict the impact of a tsunami once it is formed?
