What are the effects of a tsunami?

Asked by karn

Answer (3)

A tsunami will reach land and hit the land with a massive amount of water and will topple over small structures, flip cars and move them like dust in the wind. The tsunami can go far into land up to about 8 miles. The tsunami is most likely caused by an earthquake out at sea.

Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater disturbances, leading to severe inundation and destruction of coastal areas. Their primary effects include loss of life and infrastructure damage, while secondary effects involve water contamination and economic challenges. Preparedness and early warning systems are crucial to reduce casualties and destruction.
