Tsunamis, whose name derives from the Japanese expression for high wave in a harbour , are giant ʻ ʼ
sea waves. These waves are quite different from storm surges. They are also referred to by the
general public as tidal waves although they have nothing to do with tides. Scientists often refer
to them as seismic sea waves, which is far more appropriate because they are often the result of
undersea seismic activity.
Tsunamis can be caused when the sea floor suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or
volcano, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water
sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances, at speeds close to 700 kilometres
per hour. In the open ocean, tsunami waves are not very high, often no more than one or two
metres. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up
to 40 metres.
