A tsunami is a series of large ocean waves typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. These waves can travel across entire ocean basins at high speeds and can cause devastating effects when they reach coastal areas. The term "tsunami" originates from the Japanese words "tsu" (harbor) and "nami" (wave). Unlike regular ocean waves, tsunami waves can have long wavelengths and can inundate land with little warning.
