Some Worst Tsunamis In the History

What is the reasons behind Tsunamis

Tsunamis are uncommon activities that refer to speedy rises in the sea level, leading to the generation of massive waves. Tsunamis can travel at a pace of as much as Five hundred miles per hour in the ocean and  making them deadly. They also can reach as high as several hundreds of feet when they strike the shore. Almost two tsunamis are recorded in the global on an average each  year    but it is only once in approximately Fifteen  years that the world encounters a damaging tsunami. Most of the tsunamis (as many as eighty per cent of them) are recorded alongside the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean.  The number one reasons behind tsunamis is a major earthquake which can cause movements on the dead floor and switch its strength to the water above. Some of these earthquakes can cause tsunamis that can spread out everywhere but otherwise, tsunamis move towards one route and it also  depends on the disturbance on the seafloor. They can hit the shore within hours or maybe within minutes.

The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 was one of the deadliest tsunamis in current memory. It killed as many as more than two lakhs of humans in Fourteen countries, which includes Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, and Thailand
