Tsunami




A tsunami is a series of large and powerful ocean waves usually caused by undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When the ocean floor suddenly moves, it displaces a massive amount of water, creating waves that travel across the sea at high speed. In deep water, these waves may not be very noticeable, but as they approach the shore, they grow in height and become extremely destructive. One of the most devastating examples is the Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, 2004, which caused severe damage in many countries, including Sri Lanka, and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. Tsunamis can destroy homes, roads, and infrastructure, contaminate water supplies, and cause major environmental and economic damage. Therefore, it is important for people living near coastal areas to be aware of tsunami warning signs and follow safety measures, such as moving to higher ground and responding quickly to official warnings.
