tsunami paragraph
Tsunami refers to the long or towering waves which are generally formed in the oceans caused by earthquake or the tectonic movements. It displaces large volume of water. The name tsunami has been derived from two Japanese words: ‘tsu’ means harbor and ‘nami’ means waves. Unlike the normal tidal waves, Tsunami waves are gigantic and so results in much destruction. It is destructive also because it is very speedy and it lashes on the shores with huge power. Thus the Tsunami waves wash away a major part of the shore. Geologist, seismologists and oceanographer try their best to predict about a tsunami. People, who live near the coastal region, specially the fishermen are advised to follow some precautions for their survival during that situation.
