💡 Trivia Tsunami: The Giant Wave of the Ocean

🌊 TSUNAMI TRIVIA

Did you know?
A tsunami can travel across the ocean at speeds of over 800 km/h, about as fast as a jet airplane!

Tsunamis are usually caused by underwater earthquakes, but they can also be triggered by volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteorite impacts.

One surprising fact: in the deep ocean, a tsunami may be only a few centimeters to a meter high, but as it reaches shallow coastal waters, it slows down and can grow dramatically
taller.
