A tsunami is a series of big waves caused by an undersea earthquake. The 2011 Japanese Tsunami happened about 80 miles off the north-east coast of Japan, which caused 20-30 foot waves to break along the coastline. Few seawalls were tall enough or strong enough to stop it, so the water rushed inland, sweeping debris like trees, cars, and even houses with it.
