TaigaTsunamis are destructive because they can have large volumes of water, high speeds, and tremendous energy as they travel across the ocean and crash onto land. The force of a tsunami can cause widespread flooding, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of life, making them one of the most dangerous natural disasters.

What is the duties of oceanographer?
Oceanographers study the ocean, so mainly they research about the ocean. A big job for oceanographers is keeping track about Tsunamis. Tsunamis are very destructive and they need the help of seismologists to track them.
Can a tsunami be destructive?
Yes. Tsunamis can obliterate entire coastal communities.
Why were the 10 most destructive volcanoes so destructive?
The 10 most destructive volcanoes were so destructive because they had high explosivity, ejected massive amounts of ash and lava, caused pyroclastic flows and lahars, and triggered tsunamis or earthquakes. These volcanic events caused widespread destruction, loss of life, and long-lasting environmental impacts in the affected regions.
Are tsunamis rare?
Tsunamis are not considered rare events, but their occurrence can vary depending on the location. Regions along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic activity is high, are more prone to tsunamis. While small tsunamis are common, large and destructive tsunamis are less frequent.
