Tsunami is a Japanese word that translates as 'harbour wave'. Tsunami are usually associated with earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides, which can cause a sudden movement of the water column in the ocean, and create fast-moving waves. A tsunami is a series of waves, and can cause inundation and destruction when it hits land. This is a great guide from the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience.
