Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their

name from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor.” These waves are also

referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with

tides. Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they

do result from undersea seismic activity. Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly

moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano for example, and the water above the

moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves.

These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour. In the open

ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is

when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40

meters. Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic

activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and

Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean

bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning

and can, therefore, prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands,

however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have

a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for

warning of their imminent arrival. Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In

1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near

the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the

heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other

side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion,

sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from

this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English

Channel.
