Tsunami Info:

Tsunami is a series of massive waves that occur after an earthquake, seaquake, volcanic activity or meteorite impacts in or near the sea. Since the constant energy of the tsunami is defined by height and speed, its height increases once its speed is reduced where the wave approaches land. The waves travel at high speed, more or less unnoticed where crossing deep water, but raising to a height of 30 metres and more. Tsunamis can cause severe destruction on coasts and islands.

Many countries with high tsunami risks have warning systems to warn the population before the wave reaches land. The Pacific Tsunami Warning System monitors Pacific Ocean seismic activity and is located in Hawaii. A tsunami would be predicted by various seismologic institutes around the world and the progress monitored by satellites.
