What is a tsunami. what damage do you think it might have caused to poor fishing families like Aruna's.

Tsunamis are series of seismic waves generally caused by earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, or underwater explosions. Tsunamis cause large-scale displacement of water.
Since tsunamis are caused in oceans, they affect those living in the coastal areas the most. Tsunamis may result in great destruction of property, infrastructure, and large-scale loss of human lives.
 Tsunamis affects the fishing community tremendously, as their dwellings and fishing equipments can all get washed away in tsunamis, forcing them to abject poverty thereafter. Such people are also at the maximum risk for lives at the time of tsunamis.
