The wave generated by a tsunami is really a large swell. Swells continue along until they meet the resistance of shallowing water. When the depth of the water can no longer handle the volume of water, the wave will rise up on top of the sand in shallower water and break. If the land form creates a gentle slope then the tsunami will appear as a very strong tidal flow. If the shore is steep then the swell will rise up and break against the beach. Most damage is not done by a large crashing wave, but by the sheer volume of water that is flowing onto the land and carrying debris along with it.
As a tsunami approaches shallow water, the force behind the wave becomes concentrated on a smaller area, which results in a higher pressure. The increased pressure forces the water up and thereby increases the size of the wave

it effects the height of the tsunami if it is deep it is higher if very shallow very small
sea levels effect people by coming closer to an tsunami
A tsunami did occur after the Christchurch earthquake, but it was relatively small and localized. The earthquake did not generate a large enough displacement of water to create a significant tsunami. Additionally, the orientation of the fault line and the shallow depth of the earthquake further limited the potential for a widespread tsunami.
I tsunami can take place by the sea. If you live inland, there is no need to worry about a tsunami.
its simple it disent affect us whatsoever
it makes them scared:)
sea levels effect people by coming closer to an tsunami
It can destroy their homes if the sea suddenly has a tidal wave or tsunami
Animal's can be seeped out to see there will be no food for them the sea life might be washed up on sore

report of tsunami
most tsunami occur at the sea.
The tsunami was created in the Pacific Ocean.
The succession of waves is called a tsunami.
the density of sea increases with depth
no human can live in the depth sea
Yes, all tsunamis are sea-based they form at the sea. That is where scientists detect a tsunami. The word tsunami is japenese
