·      According to the dictionary a Tsunami is an unusually large sea wave produced by a seaquake or undersea volcanic eruption.

·      Tsunamis are generated by the displacement of water, which contrasts both with wind and tides, as well as the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the bodies of water.

·      Physics of Tsunamis are not only very interesting it is almost unbelievable.
