🇵🇭 tsunami

A tsunami is a series of extremely powerful ocean waves typically caused by large-scale underwater disturbances like earthquakes. The term is currently trending due to the 15th anniversary of the devastating 2011 Fukushima earthquake and tsunami in Japan, with new memorial parks opening and the site evolving into a dark tourism destination. For countries like the Philippines, situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire, understanding tsunami risks and preparedness remains crucial.
