Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe. ???? ●The Japanese word for tsunami means harbor wave. ???? ●Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal (潮汐的) waves but this term has fallen out of favor because tsunamis are not related to tides. ???? ●Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. ???? ●As a tsunami approaches the shore (海岸), water may move back from the coast.
