The way tsunamis affect different locations is quite interesting! The wave length (distance between two peaks&#x2F;troughs) at sea can be hundreds of kilometers long, a tsunami could pass under your tiny boat while out at sea and you wouldn&#x27;t even notice it. It&#x27;s only as they approach land that the shallow depths force the wavelength to shorten, forming the giant waves we usually associate with tsunamis.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www2.scholastic.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;images&#x2F;articles&#x2F;sn_ts&#x2F;sn_ts_031111_diagram.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www2.scholastic.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;images&#x2F;articles&#x2F;sn_ts&#x2F;sn_...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tsunami" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tsunami</a>
