Tsunami's: My own research.

A bit of research and here is a description of a Tsunami from Wikipedia:

Although often referred to as "tidal waves", a tsunami does not look like the popular impression of "a normal wave only much bigger". Instead it looks rather like an endlessly onrushing tide which forces its way around and through any obstacle. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area. The sheer weight of water is enough to pulverise objects in its path, often reducing buildings to their foundations and scouring exposed ground to the bedrock.


According to PBS A Tsunami is describe as:

• A vast volume of seawater in motion
• They are creatures of the open ocean, trains of giant waves that can travel for thousands of miles across the sea and still pack enough energy to smash towns and drown the unwary

So why am I interested in Tsunamis and what is this post for? Well because I believe that the Quran talks about them. I shall give more details in my next post.
