Tsunami
A Tsunami is a series of powerful ocean waves produced by an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or asteroid impact. Tsunami waves can travel great distances and still retain much of their strength. They differ from common ocean waves, which are caused by wind. The word tsunami is a combination of Japanese words meaning harbor andwave.
