Sometimes, though, the plates get stuck, the pressure builds up and they suddenly slam into a new position. This causes an earthquake. If an earthquake lifts or drops part of the ocean floor, the water above rises and starts spreading across the ocean, causing a tsunami. Underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions can also displace water (cause water to spread across the ocean) and may lead to a tsunami.<\/p>\n<h3>How big is a tsunami?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3482 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-3.jpg\" alt=\"tsunami facts\" width=\"600\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-3-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Out in the open ocean, tsunami waves are only about one-metre high because the water is deep. However, as the water becomes shallow, the waves slow down and begin to grow. They can rise 35m or higher \u2013 that&#8217;s the same as a 10-floor block of flats! However, the scariest thing about a tsunami is its <strong>wavelength<\/strong>, as this determines how far inland it can travel. Whereas a large wave caused by a storm might have a wavelength of up to 150m, a tsunami could reach up to a fearsome 1,000km!<\/p>\n<h3>How fast is a tsunami?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3483 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-4.jpg\" alt=\"tsunami facts\" width=\"516\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-4.jpg 516w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-4-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A normal wind wave travels at about 90kmh, but a tsunami can race across the ocean at an incredible 970kmh! Sometimes, before a tsunami hits, there is a huge vacuum effect, sucking water from harbours and beaches. People can see the ocean floor littered with flopping fish and other sea animals. Then a wave blasts onto the shore minutes later, then another and another for two hours or more. There may also be up to one hour between each wave.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3484 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-5.jpg\" alt=\"tsunami facts\" width=\"580\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-5.jpg 580w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tsunami-facts-5-222x300.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Can you predict when a tsunami is coming?<\/h3>\n<p>To save lives, scientists established the <strong>Pacific Tsunami Warning System<\/strong>, based in Hawaii, in the USA.
