In honor of this week being National Tsunami preparedness week!! I thought I would do a myth buster for your lovely Monday morning!
Answer: No way! The picture above is not real!
The Science: A tsunami is a series of low, fast and long ocean waves that can be caused by and earthquake or a sudden displacement of water. And most of the time the wave moves in all directions. Basically, just think of a tsunami as a wave that keeps on coming, not a huge tall wave. It's like a flood from the ocean or bay. I know that's not very scientific, but it is the only way I can think to explain it. The picture below is an actual picture from Japan.
