A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean surface due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean. The three types of tsunamis are: Local Tsunami- It is a type of tsunami that covers an area of 100km or less. The time duration of this tsunami is less than 1 hour or even in minutes.Regional Tsunami- The tsunami which causes destruction in the region covering an area of 1000km of its source is known as a regional tsunami. The travel time of this tsunami is between 1 to 3 hours. Distant Tsunami- The tsunami which is generated far away from the coast or on the other side of the ocean is known as a distant tsunami. This tsunami takes time to reach the coastal area. #science #tsunami #ringoffire #indianocean #pacificocean Quewiz welcome's you to the world of science everything we see around us makes us curious like why do leaves fall, why do moon changes its shape everyday, how do we digest our food So 'ask to know' 'puchoge to janoge' write your questions in comment box we will find answers for you.
