Check out our tsunami facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.
The Japanese word for tsunami means harbor wave.
Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal (受潮汐影响的) waves but this term has fallen out of favor because tsunamis are not related to tides.
Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
As a tsunami approaches the shore (海岸), water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow (浅的) enough the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, you can know that a tsunami is on the way when you see this phenomenon.
Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time as possible to move to a safe place.
When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast) they slow down but increase in height.
An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries.
In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.
The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 meters in some areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.
1.How many causes of tsunamis are mentioned in the text?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
2.In the Tohoku earthquake over 15,000 people died mainly because of ______.
A. the earthquake itself
B. the lack of warning systems
C. the tsunami caused by the earthquake
D. the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami
3.What do we learn from the text?
A. The Japanese invented the term “tidal waves”.
B. The term “tidal waves” is used more often than tsunami.
C. When tsunamis slow down, their waves can reach 40 meters.
D. When hitting shallow water, tsunamis will rise higher.
4.The text is developed mainly by ______.
A. listing some facts B. giving some examples
C. providing some numbers D. making some comparisons

Weekends mean hanging out, snacking or just watching horror movies. So look over our picks of some scariest ones.
The Exorcist
This 1973 classic, adapted from the 1971 book of the same name, tell the story of a 12-year-old girl named Regan McNeil who gets possessed by the devil (恶魔) after using a Ouija board to communicate with her imaginary friend Captain Howdy. It was inspired by a true story. Novelist William Peter Blatty adapted his book from the tale of Roland Doe, a young boy in Cottage City, Maryland who underwent an exorcism (驱魔) in 1949.
The Witch
Robert Eggers’s first build at a slow pace then you’ll either totally love or hate with a passion. The story is about a Puritan family who runs out of town due to the father’s pride, then sets up a home in a remote of the woods all by themselves. As the atmosphere builds and the family starts to fall apart, accusing each other of being witches.
The Babadook
The Babadook focuses on a recently widowed mom of a six-year-old named Samuel who, after reading a pop-up book about a ghoul (食尸鬼) wearing top hat named Mister Babadook, spends the rest of the movie screaming bloody murder and attempting to convince his mom that the Babadook is real.
Paranormal Activity
Every moment of this movie plays upon the viewers’ fears: people staring at you while you sleep; the person you love being secretly killed; and actual devils in your actual house.
