Tsunamis 1
Tsunamis 1 :
Tsunamis are large waves generated by the sudden displacement of water resulting from underwater disturbances such as a large earthquake or submarine volcanic eruption. Tsunamis travel extremely fast, reaching ~800 km/hr in the deep oceans. When tsunamis reach land they inundate low-lying coastal areas. In Saint Lucia the threat of tsunamis is an indirect one. The entrance of pyroclastic flows into the sea in southern Saint Lucia could generate minor tsunamis that could affect coastal areas in northern Saint Lucia
