$Tatami are just larger versions of regular waves. They have a trough and a crest and consist not of moving water, but the movement of energy through water. For Normal ocean waves, IT comes from wind. Because this only affects the surface. The waves are limited in size and speed, but tsunamis are caused by energy originating underwater from a volcanic corruption, a submarine landside, or most commonly, an earthquake on the ocean floor, caused when the tectonic plates of the earth surface slip, releasing a massive amount of energy into the water. This energy travels up to the surface, displacing water and raising IT above the Normal sea level. But gravity pulls IT back down, which makes the energy ripple outward horon tal. Thus the tsunami is born moving IT over five hundred miles per hour. When it's far from shore. A tuna I can be barely detectable since IT moves through the entire depth of the water, but when IT reaches shallow water, something called wave showing occurs because there is less water to move through. The still massive amount of energy is compressed. The wave speed slows down while its height rises to as much as one hundred feet. The word tuna I japanese for harbor wave comes from the fact that IT only seems to appear near the coast. If the trough of the tuna I reaches shore first, the water will withdraw farther than Normal before the wave hits, which can be misleadingly dangerous. A tuna I will not only drown people near the coast, but level buildings and trees for a mile inland, or more, especially in low lying areas. As if that weren't enough, the water then retreats, dragging with IT the newly created debris, and anything or anyone, unfortunately, enough to be caught its path. So how can we protect ourselves against this destructive force of nature? People in some areas have attempted to stop tsunamis with sea walls, flood gates and channels to divert the water. But these are not always effective. In two thousand eleven, a suni surpassed the flood while protecting japan's fukushima power, causing a nuclear disaster. In addition to claiming over eighteen thousand lives, many scientists and policymakers are instead focusing on early detection, monitoring underwater pressure in seismic activity and establishing global communication networks for quickly distributing alerts when nature is too powerful to stop, the safest course is to get out of its way.
