They are not noticeable until they move up a
shore.
• Tsunami warning systems are now found in most locations where tsunamis are possible.
• The Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004 came from a massive earthquake. The waves traveled across the Indian
Ocean, causing death and destruction in 12 nations.

Many more
people died from the tsunami than the quake.
• Body waves travel through the body of a planet. Surface waves travel along the surface.
• There are two types of body waves: P-waves travel fastest and through solids, liquids, and gases; S-waves
only travel through solids.
• Surface waves are the slowest, but they do the most damage in an earthquake.
