Vulcaniceruptions • Howisvulcaniceruption made? Volcanoes are made when two tectonic plates come together. When these two plates meet, one of them (usually the oceanic plate) goes under the continental plate. Afterwards, it melts and makes magma (inside the magma chamber), and the pressure builds up until the magma bursts through the Earth's crust.

Tsunami • A tsunami is a chain of fast moving waves in the ocean caused by powerful earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. • Tsunami has a very long wave. It can be hundreds of kilometers long. Usually, tsunami starts suddenly. • The waves travel at a great speed across an ocean with little energy loss. • They can remove sand from beaches, destroy trees, toss and drag vehicles, damage houses and even destroy whole towns.
