A tsunami is formed from the quick movements in the ocean which causes big waves in the ocean. That can take down cities, buildings and forests.

Hi Libby,

I want to know about Tsunami formation. I want a chronology of a Tsunami.  

Have they ever happened before in the United States of America?

Because of earthquakes. Also, too much rain falls and I think the water level rises.

Well Libby, my name's Taylor and yes they can form in the US along the sides.   You just have to have a big enough tropical storm in the ocean and there has to be a long way to travel for it to get huge.

Hi. I'm Libby, from the United States. I was wondering what a tsunami was like. I've never seen one or heard of one. I would really like to know what they do and how they form. Could they form over here in the US? I am willing to answer any of your questions on natural disasters here in the US, too.
