'Tsunami', or 'harbour wave' in Japanese which is caused by earthquakes which occur under the sea bed, although a few are also caused by underwater volcanic eruptions, devastating coastal areas
While they're in the open sea, tsunami waves are generally quite small, rarely more than half a metre high, in fact. That usually surprises people. It's only when they reach the shore that tsunami waves reach such enormous heights. As far as I know, the largest tsunami ever recorded was 64 metres high. It's also worth noting that tsunami have extremely long wavelengths. Such a wave travels at well over 800 kilometres per hour (500 mph).
And 2006 , the Tsunami in Thailand was the worst natural disaster to ever hit the country, causing loss of life as well as major damage to property, the environment and the economy. The severe impact on the natural environment in turn had serious consequences on the fishing and tourism industries and, therefore, thousands of families' livelihoods.
