How a Tsunami is Formed

A tsunami creates lots and lots of damage.

An earthquake is caused by large plates underground which smash together to make a massive earthquake. The pressure from the earthquake forms teeny waves in the deep ocean. Soon as the tsunami gets close to shore it forms a large wave.

An amazing fact is that a tsunami can move a thousand kilometres a hour. 

A tsunami creates extensive damage to towns and cities.
