Tsunamis can reach heights of over 100 feet in shallow water due to the immense energy they carry.

It is important to take tsunami warnings seriously and evacuate to higher ground if necessary.

Tsunamis are usually preceded by an earthquake, undersea volcanic eruption, or landslide.

This can lead to flooding, extensive damage to coastal regions, and loss of lives. It's essential to listen to warnings and evacuate to higher ground if a tsunami is imminent.
