Films about tsunamis, a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.

The Working Group reported finding nickel and iron splash droplets fused to foraminifera tests in slides taken from deep-ocean core samples near Burckle Crater, but this interpretation is problematic because formaminifera tests are made of calcium carbonate, which chemically decomposes at about 500 °C (932 °F), while nickel and iron melt at ...

The height of the tsunami was limited due to relatively shallow sea in the area of the impact; had the asteroid struck in the deep sea the megatsunami would have been 4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi) tall. Among the mechanisms triggering megatsunamis were the direct impact, shockwaves, returning water in the crater with a new push outward and seismic ...
In California there’s a Tsunami Preparedness Week, and several areas along the coast have signs reading “Tsunami hazard zone: In case of earthquake go to high ground or inland.”
The 2002 Stromboli tsunami was caused by a volcanic eruption in the Aeolian Islands of Sicily, located on the Tyrrhenian Sea. In May 2002, one of the island's two active volcanoes , called Stromboli , entered a new phase of explosive activity that was initially characterized by gas and ash emission from the summit craters.
