These huge waves wreak terrific damage when they crash on the shores of distant lands or
continents. Under a perfectly sunny sky and from an apparently calm sea, a wall of water
may break twenty or thirty feet high over beaches and waterfronts, crushing houses and
drowning unsuspecting residents and bathers in its path.
How are these waves formed? When a submarine earthquake occurs, it is likely to set up a
tremendous amount of shock, disturbing the quite waters of the deep ocean. This
disturbance travels to the surface and forms a huge swell in the ocean many miles across. It
rolls outward in all directions, and the water lowers in the centre as another as another swell
looms up. Thus a series of concentric swells are formed similar to those made when a coin
or small pebble is dropped into a basin of water. The big difference is in the size. Each of
the concentric rings of basin water traveling out toward the edge is only about an inch
across and less than a quarter of an inch high. The swells in the ocean are sometimes
nearly a mile wide and rise to several multiple of ten feet in height.
Many of us have heard about these waves, called "tsunami". Nothing was done about
tsunamis until after World War II. An underwater earthquake in the Aleutian Islands could
start a swell that would break along the shores and cause severe damage. These waves
travel hundreds of miles an hour, and one can understand how they would crash!
