A tsunami is a type of natural disaster characterized by a series of ocean waves caused by large disturbances, typically underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When these geological events occur, they can displace a massive volume of water, generating waves that can travel across entire ocean basins at high speeds. As these waves approach shallow coastal areas, they can grow in height and cause devastating destruction upon landfall. Tsunamis can result in significant loss of life, property damage, and long-term environmental effects. Effective early warning systems are essential for minimizing their impact.
