Meaning of Tsunami:
Tsunami, which meaning "marine hurricane," is a natural calamity. The tsunami is a Japanese word that combines sue and naami. Sue means sea, and naami means waves. When there is a sudden bustle in the ocean, it contains a brusten. Hundreds of kilometers in width approach the coast, and the bottoms of the waves begin to touch the earth. Its speed slows as its height increases. When it reaches the coast, a disaster ensues. Anything, including trees, woods, and buildings, is destroyed. These storms are frequently triggered by marine earthquakes.
