A tsunami is a series of extremely long waves caused by the sudden displacement of the ocean.

Tsunamis can occur in any ocean, sea or large body of water.

A tsunami racing across an ocean and causing damage or deaths more than 620 miles away happens about twice a decade.

Japan has had the most tsunamis since 1900 , followed by Russia and Indonesia .
