Their wave size increases.
Tsunamis can affect marine life by moving their habitats. For instance, if the water a fish is in move to shore, then the fish will move with it.
Yep it sure does :) (:
when the earths plates move we either have earthquakes, tsunamis, and we get ridges and trenches.
If you have received a warning from some believable source that a tsunami is likely, move away from the shore, and seek higher ground.

They crash on the shore and move back through the trough and back into the ocean. To have it all happen again
As tsunamis move towards shore, their speed decreases and their height increases due to the shallower water causing the wave to compress. This results in a dramatic increase in wave height and overwhelming force when the tsunami finally reaches the coast, causing devastating flooding and destruction.
Sometimes they sense it coming and are able move to higher ground in time, but most often they are caught up in the swell just as humans are.
It is most famous for the many polar bears that move toward the shore from inland in the autumn, leading to the nickname "Polar Bear Capital of the World".
Refraction of waves at the shore causes wave crests to bend and align more parallel to the coastline. This happens because the part of the wave in shallower water slows down, while the deeper part continues at a faster speed, resulting in the wave crest bending toward the shallower area.
As the waveform approaches the shore, the particle will experience a circular motion. This is due to the orbital motion of the water particles that make up the wave. In essence, the particle will move in a circular pattern as the wave energy transports it towards the shore.
A crest is the highest point of a wave where the water level is elevated above the normal level. It is the point where the wave begins to break and move toward the shore.
