Ocean's Hidden Shake
What is a tsunami and how does it form?
A tsunami is one of the ocean's most powerful moods — a giant wave that can cross entire seas and crash onto shores with enormous force. But here's the surprising part: it doesn't start as a wave at all.
Most waves are made by wind pushing on the water's surface, like blowing ripples across your soup. Tsunamis are different. They're born from something shaking the entire ocean floor — usually an earthquake deep underwater.
