　　Tsunami is a natural disaster, which is a Japanese word that means "sea wave". A tsunami is a huge sea wave that forms mainly in the Pacific Ocean area. People will die and property will be destroyed when a tsunami hits the land. What causes these dangerous sea waves? Sometimes, tsunamis are caused when earthquakes take place underwater. Then, water begins to move up and down from the top of the ocean right down to the bottom. Waves begin to form, and each wave is called a tsunami.

　　A tsunami is less than one metre high and can move at a speed of almost 800 kilometres per hour while it is far out in the ocean. But the tsunami rises much higher and moves more slowly as it comes closer to the land.

　　The weather bureau(气象局)warns people over the radio and television when a tsunami is heading for the land. These warnings have helped save many lives.
