• The term tsunami comes from the Japanese, meaning " harbor " ( tsu ) and " wave ". (nami).
•Tsunami are sometimes referred to as tidal waves
•A tsunami can be generated when convergent or destructive plate boundaries abruptly move and vertically displace the overlying water
•Earthquakes , volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (detonations of nuclear devices at sea), landslides and other mass movements , bolide impacts , and other disturbances above or below water
Characteristics the a tsunami on the high seas
•Velocity 800 km/h.•Longitude of wave of 300 km/h.•Period 10 a 45 minutes.
•A tsunami cannot be prevented or precisely predicted—even if the right magnitude of an earthquake occurs in the right location. Geologists , oceanographers , and seismologists analyse each earthquake and based upon many factors may or may not issue a tsunami warning.
•One of the most important systems that is used and constantly monitored are bottom pressure sensors. These are anchored and attached to buoys.
