Passage

The sea-waves can cause a significant damage when they crash the lands. Under a clear sky and calm sea, a wall of water may appear twenty or thirty feet high over beaches, destroying houses and drowning residents in its path.

When a submarine earthquake happens, it is likely to cause an enormous amount of shock, disturbing the quite waters of the deep ocean. This disturbance transfers to the surface and forms a huge swell. The swells in the ocean are nearly a mile wide and rise to various multiple of ten feet in height.

Nothing was accomplished about tsunamis until after the second World War. These waves travel towards the land hundreds of miles an hour, and you can imagine that how they would crash!
