In a general context, a "tsunami" is a powerful and destructive natural phenomenon characterized by a series of large ocean waves generated by undersea disturbances, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. These waves can travel across entire ocean basins and, when they reach shallower coastal areas, they can rapidly grow in height and intensity. Tsunamis have the potential to cause widespread devastation, flooding coastlines, and posing a significant threat to human life and property. Understanding the warning signs and having early alert systems in place is crucial to mitigate the impact of tsunamis and protect vulnerable coastal communities.
