This is my report writing about a disaster. It tells what it is, what it does and where it occurs.

What is a tsunami?.

A tsunami is  a group of waves that come one after the other,  generated in any ocean or other body of the water by a disturbance such as an earthquake a volcanic eruption or a meteorite impact. Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down.
What can a tsunami do?.
A tsunami is a massive wave that can be really dangerous. Tsunamis can also unfortunately kill a lot of people, It destroys things that are in it’s path when it hits land and it can destroy city's, buildings, homes, shops, roads and lots more.
Tsunamis can reach up to a enormous height of 30m/100 feet. Tsunamis will happen most often on the Pacific Ocean ring of fire because of the active Pacific Rim from the undersea earthquake.

Tsunamis cause the water level and the ocean current to rise slowly and dangerous waves to follow the first tsunami wave, trapping people who return thinking the tsunami is over.  

Remember a tsunami is a series of waves that happens in any ocean.  It is really dangerous.
