What I know about a Tsunami:

A tsunami is a series of waves in a body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean of a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and underwater explosions, including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below the water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.  Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, of tides, which are in turn generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water from a large event.

A tsunami (pronounced soo-NAH-mee, is a combination of the Japanese word "Tsu", meaning harbor, and "Nami" meaning wave. The name came about because Japanese fishermen had once thought that these large waves began in the harbor) A tsunami is a series of powerful waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, usually due to underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides and even meteorite impacts. Unlike regular ocean waves, which are generated by wind, tsunamis are triggered by sudden movements in the Earth's crust. A tsunami wave can travel at speeds of 500-800 km/h, similar to a jet plane. In deep water, tsunamis may only be a few centimeters high, but as they approach land, they can grow to over 30 meters tall. A sudden retreat of ocean water, strong ground shaking, or unusual wave patterns can indicate an incoming tsunami. Tsunamis can cause massive destruction, flooding coastal areas, damaging buildings, and leading to loss of life.Tsunami Safety Tips:1.Move to higher ground immediately if you feel an earthquake near the coast.2. Listen to official warnings from tsunami alert systems.3. Avoid the shoreline—never go to the beach to watch a tsunami.4. Follow evacuation routes and emergency instructions. Did you know that tsunamis can sound like helicopters? Yes! Tsunamis can produce eerie and intense sounds as they approach land, and some witnesses describe them as roaring like helicopters or jet engines. This happens because of the massive energy and force behind the waves as they displace air and water.

The sound is caused by:

High-speed wave movement—since tsunami waves move incredibly fast, the turbulent water can create a deep, rumbling noise.

Air displacement—the sheer force of the waves pushing through air and crashing onto structures amplifies the sound.

Debris impact—as the wave engulfs coastal areas, objects like trees, buildings, and vehicles add to the chaotic noise.

Some survivors say the sound is so loud that it drowns out everything else, making it even more terrifying. If you're near the coast and hear something like this after an earthquake, it's a clear sign to get to higher ground immediately.

6.Could a tsunami be artificially created?

7.Are there undiscovered warning signs?

8."Could a tsunami ever be so powerful that it permanently alters Earth's rotation or axis?"

# data[].attributes.body
I have learnt that:

1.Definition: A tsunami is a series of large waves caused by the displacement of water, usually due to underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides.

2.Speed & Height: Tsunami waves can travel at 500-800 km/h, and their height can exceed 30 meters when reaching land.

3.Warning Signs: Sudden ocean retreat, ground shaking, or unusual wave patterns can indicate an incoming tsunami.

4.Safety Measures: Moving to higher ground, listening to official warnings, and avoiding the shoreline are key survival strategies.

5.Sound: Tsunamis can sound like helicopters or jet engines due to air displacement and debris impact.

6.Unanswered Questions: Scientists still explore mysteries like whether an ultra-mega-tsunami could alter Earth's rotation or what impact deep-sea tsunamis have on marine life.

Tsunamis are powerful ocean waves typically caused by underwater earthquakes, but also by landslides or volcanic eruptions. These waves can travel at speeds up to 500 mph and reach heights of over 100 feet. Tsunamis can travel across vast oceans with minimal energy loss and can cause significant coastal damage.

Tsunami is a Japanese word for "harbor wave" .

A tsunami caused by an earthquake can have the energy equivalent to that of 23,000 atomic bombs.

Most tsunamis originate in the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire" .

Earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions can all trigger tsunamis .

Tsunamis can travel extremely fast, up to 805 kilometers per hour.

A Tsunami's height can be measured with amplitude as unit.

Tsunamis can travel across entire oceans with only minimal energy loss.

A tsunami is a series of unusually long and tall waves that send surges of water onto the land. Tsunamis are primarily caused by earthquakes that generate vertical displacement of the ocean floor, through landslides, volcanic eruptions and even meteorite impacts can also trigger tsunamis. Tsunami

waves are often called killer waves, because of the tremendous energy carried by the waves. They move towards the shore at great speeds of about 200 metres per second. This is the same speed as flying an aeroplane. The word tsunami came about as Japanese fisherman had once thought that the large waves began in the harbour.

The tallest tsunami waves reached a height of 524 metres. In general , a tsunami is causes by any large force that rapidly moves or displaces a large body of water. Landslides can also cause tsunamis. When landslides occur, a huge amount of rock collapses. People sometimes refer to tsunamis as tidal waves. This name is inaccurate, as tsunamis are unrelated to the tides seen at the beach. Tsunamis are also not caused by wind, as wind alone cannot displace enough water. Despite a tsunamis destructive energy, it may be unnoticeable out at sea, where the waters are deep. Boats may only experience a gentle rise and fall of the waters surface as the tsunami passes by rapidly underneath. However, the tsunami transforms as it approaches the shore. The waves then rush forward at an incredible speed and crash onto land. Tsunamis also tear families apart .

What I Know About A Tsunami:

A tsunami is a series of extremely long waves caused by a large and sudden displacement of the ocean, usually the result of an earthquake below or near the ocean floor.

How long a tunami can last:

Large tsunamis may continue for days in some locations, reaching their peak often a couple of hours after arrival and gradually tapering off after that. The time between tsunami crests (the tsunami's period) ranges from approximately five minutes to two hours. Dangerous tsunami currents can last for days.

Wildlife experts believe animals' more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the Earth's vibration, tipping them off to approaching disaster long before humans realize what's going on.

What I Have Learnt About A Tsunami:

Regarding my earlier questions, (I had to search up some answers in google because

I could not find it in the text and I already know everything in the text so... yeah. And I'm so very sorry that I submitted my work under 2 profiles)

1. Despite Singapore's geographical position away from major tectonic plate boundaries, the city-state is not entirely immune to the threat of tsunamis.

2. Tsunami energy travels across the ocean as a series of long waves that move outward in all directions from the disturbance.

3. Tsunami are not just moving waves on the ocean surface; they also include troughs, and sometimes the trough reaches the coast first. When this happens, the ocean first draws down and sucks water away from the coastlines.

4. Yes, climate change can increase the chance of tsunamis, primarily through rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of storms, and the destabilization of landmasses leading to landslides. These factors can amplify the impact of existing tsunami risks and create new ones.

And since Miss Quek wants us to 'click on the padlet link again and complete the 'L' sections in the same way. DO NOT refer to the text again, just key in what you remember reading.', I will do so :)

The word tsunami, pronounced soo-NAH-mee, is a combination of the Japanese word “tsu”, meaning harbour, and “nami”, meaning wave. The name came about because Japanese fishermen had once thought that these large waves began in the harbour. A tsunami is a series of unusually long and tall waves that send surges of water onto land. The length of a wave (the wavelength) is measured from one crest, or high point of the wave, to the next. The tsunami waves are so long that after one wave hits the shore, it may take another hour before the next wave arrives. Sometimes, these large waves may rise to a height of about 30 metres. This is about the height of a 10-storey block of flats in Singapore. The tallest tsunami wave reached a height of 524 metres. This is about 2.5 times the height of Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands hotel. That tsunami took place in 1958 at Lituya Bay in the United States of America.

Tsunamis are often triggered by underwater earthquakes, where the seabed is suddenly displaced, displacing large volumes of water and generating waves that radiate outward .

The term "tsunami" is Japanese, meaning "harbor wave," reflecting the significant damage these waves can cause to coastal harbors and towns .

Tsunamis can travel across entire oceans. For instance, a tsunami generated in Japan can reach the U.S. West Coast in less than a day .

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the deadliest in history, with an estimated 227,898 fatalities across 14 countries, triggered by a 9.2–9.3 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia .

Tsunamis can consist of multiple waves, with the first wave not necessarily being the largest. Subsequent waves can arrive minutes to hours later, often causing more damage than the initial wave .
