What do tsunamis look like?

Here is my final version of what does a tsunami look like?


Stokes waveTo put it simple, a tsunami looks like a giant wall of water rushing towards the shore. The waves can be over 30 metres tall before they hit the shore and when they do, there is a rush of white water causing destruction.

Tsunami waves can take different shapes, there are 5 different wave types. The sinusoidal wave, stokes wave, solitary wave, N-waves and the double waves.
