Question

Using a flowchart, discuss how a tsunami develops?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A tsunami is a sequence of particularly long water waves that can spread over very great distances and, as such, cause water to move.

When penetrating into areas of shallow water, the sea is compressed and thus piles up on the coasts to form several high tidal waves. These carry the water with great force far over the shoreline and usually cause great damage. During the subsequent retreat, the material carried away on the flooded land, often also people and animals, is mostly washed far out into the ocean.

Tsunamis occur as a result of sudden water displacement, such as when parts of the ocean floor are raised or lowered during an undersea earthquake or when large masses of earth and rock slide into the water as well as due to violent winds.
