They have relatively small amplitudes compared to their very long wavelengths

<u>Explanation:</u>

Tsunamis describe large wave oscillations that are seen in coastal areas when there occurs an earthquake underwater. Tsunamis have extremely long wavelengths with large periods. They have high rising and falling time but have high velocity.

Their long wavelengths and high velocity enable them to hit the coastal land at an alarming rate in seconds. As the tsunami first propagates in the vast open ocean, the amplitude of tsunami decreases as the wave energy is spread into a much larger base area.
