As we have seen from the 2004 tsunami of Southeast Asia and the 2011 Japanese tsunami, the effects can be devastating. A tsunami has great energy, and can carry waves far inland. The power of the water can knock down buildings and crush vehicles. People usually die from being smashed against something, rather than drowning. Tsunami can push huge amounts of water over islands and coastal regions causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and they can cause millions or even billions of dollars worth of damage.
They can move up the rivers and streams leading to the ocean. Flooding can reach land 1000 feet (300 meters) from the coastline and the dangerous waves have enough force to lift giant boulders, flip vehicles, and demolish houses. Tsunami kill a lot of people because of the fierce strength of the initial wave, subsequent waves, and the undertow created by gallons of rushing water.
Tsunami will definitely cause damage, casualties, and injuries. Fires can break out from gas line breaks that are ignited. Tsunami, as they reach closer to shore, will wash fishing boats and other boats, such as cruisers, onto shore, and onto streets, railroads, and buildings. Airports are destroyed, roads are impassable. The boats will be stuck on shore and usually wrecked from the force of the wave. Cars, trucks, airplanes and trains can be washed through the coastal areas damaging structures and people in their wake.
Entire coral reefs and the plants and animals that depend on them for habitat can be devastated. Once the reefs are destroyed, the protection they provided for the coastal areas from hurricanes, storms and other damage is lost along with the barrier reefs.
People and livestock can be caught in the wave and carried away inland and back into the sea with all the debris from the devastation. The waves will also cause fish to be washed onto the shore and stuck there to die. They flood the lands near the shore, causing entire buildings to be inundated. They are identified too late for most people in the coastal areas to escape and avoid death from them. They will damage the crops and cause nearby buildings to collapse. Some people might be trapped under the buildings and die. They uproot trees too, causing them to fall on houses and people.
Lastly, they cause economic decline as countries have to spend billions of dollars rebuilding and recovering from the damage. Millions of people can be homeless without food, clean water, and proper sewage disposal and without electricity. Hospitals that may be still operating are overwhelmed, injured people may not receive timely medical care. Access to medical supplies, pharmacy supplies, and maintenance medications may not be available for months or more. People cannot find loved ones and family members and there are little, if any, means of communication immediately following the tsunami. Factories and jobs are eliminated and many never rebuild in the area again. Tourist industries collapse for even years afterward.
As a wave breaking on the shore, eventually the momentum would be dissipated, and the wave flow back into the sea. So too would a tsunami, its momentum spent it would return to the sea, carrying debris with it and leaving death and destruction in its wake.
