Tsunamis are like giant ocean waves that happen when something big moves underwater. Imagine dropping a stone into a pond, ripples spread out, and if the stone is really big, it can make a wave that travels all the way to the shore. Scientists use special tools, like sensors on the seafloor, to know when these waves are coming so people can get ready.
Examples
- Volcanoes erupt underwater, making waves that can destroy nearby islands.
