Tsunamis are very long waves in the ocean, sometimes hundreds of miles long. Tsunamis usually start suddenly. They may begin as normal waves and change to big
waves very quickly. After this change, tsunami waves will travel at great speed across
the ocean with little energy loss. Just before they hit land, the water will draw back off
of the coast. If the slope of the coast is shallow, the water may pull back for many
hundreds of feet. People who are unaware of the danger may be drawn by this strange

beaches, destroy trees, damage houses and even destroy whole towns. Tsunamis are
tremendously powerful.
