Tsunami
Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.
A tsunami washes ashore with oftendisastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning and damage to property.
A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows very large.
Tsunami happened because of.....
The displaced rock pushes water above it
A major fault under the ocean floor slips suddenly
The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the source
The waves moves across the ocean until they reach the beach
A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean

What are the impacts of tsunami?
The part of the Earth’s crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor down to the land
A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as flooding and loss of lives
A tsunami is a very large sea wave which is not generated by a disturbance a long the ocean floor
A tsunami is detectable far out in the ocean

We understand from the text that tsunami ....

Displaces rocks to land
Earthquake
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and movement of large sections (tectonic plates) of the earth’s rocky outermost crust.
Earthquakes are usually caused when a rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing catch on each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that’s built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.
What does the text mainly explain?
