The Tsunami

The tsunami is a terrible thing.

Tsunamis are destructive waves caused by seafloor earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, seafloor landslides or meteorological changes. The speed of tsunamis is as high as 700 KM/k .

When a tsunami is near the coastline, it will be tens of meters high, to be a “water wall."

In history, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was very terrible.

December 26, 2004, there was an earthquake in India. The tsunami triggered by the earthquake even endangered coastal residents as far away as Somalia; 166,000 people died in Indonesia alone, more then 2 million people were homeless. It was the worst tsunami disaster in the world in more than 200 years.

The tsunami is about ten meters tall. It is so fast, maybe you haven’t recovered; you are caught up in the tsunami.

This is a sad historical event; I express my condolences to those are injured and homeless.
