Tsunami
Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea.
Out in the depths of the ocean, tsunami waves do not dramatically increase in height. But as the waves travel inland, they build up as the depth of the ocean decreases.
Large Tsunami can be extremely dangerous and destructive.
