🇨🇦 tsunami

A tsunami is a series of powerful ocean waves caused by large-scale disturbances, most commonly underwater earthquakes. It is currently trending due to recent news about a magnitude 8.8 earthquake near Kamchatka and NASA satellites capturing the first high-resolution views of a massive Pacific tsunami. These observations are providing new insights into these natural phenomena. These immense waves can travel across entire oceans and cause catastrophic destruction upon reaching coastal areas.
