- Tsunami - Wikipedia
Major areas of current research include determining why some large earthquakes do not generate tsunamis while other smaller ones do This ongoing research is designed to help accurately forecast the passage of tsunamis across oceans as well as how tsunami waves interact with shorelines

- Tsunami | Definition, Meaning, Facts | Britannica
tsunami, catastrophic ocean wave, usually caused by a submarine earthquake, an underwater or coastal landslide, or a volcanic eruption The term tidal wave is frequently used for such a wave, but it is a misnomer, for the wave has no connection with the tides
- The science behind tsunamis - National Oceanic and Atmospheric . . .
About 80% of all known tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes These seismic events move Earth's surface, displacing the water above and generating waves that rapidly travel in all directions across the ocean or body of water Not all earthquakes create tsunamis
- What are tsunamis? | U. S. Geological Survey - USGS. gov
Tsunami waves are unlike typical ocean waves generated by wind and storms, and most tsunamis do not "break" like the curling, wind-generated waves popular with surfers Tsunamis typically consist of multiple waves that rush ashore like a fast-rising tide with powerful currents
- Massive Tsunami Captured By Satellite In Space
The Surface Water Ocean Topography satellite captured high resolution measurements of this summer’s Pacific tsunami The satellite imagery is the first of its kind, bringing new detail and
- About Tsunamis - National Weather Service
It is a series of waves (not just one) caused by a large and sudden displacement of the ocean Tsunamis radiate outward in all directions from the disturbance and can move across entire ocean basins
- NASA: NASA reveals first-ever high-resolution image of a massive . . .
A powerful earthquake off Russias Kamchatka Peninsula in late July caused a massive Pacific tsunami, which was spotted in unprecedented detail by NASA and CNESs SWOT satellite The observations disclosed complex wave patterns spreading across the ocean, challenging previous beliefs that large tsunamis stay as single, non-dispersive waves By merging SWOT data with DART buoy measurements
