A tsunami (pronounced /tsuːˈnɑːmi/) is a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced. Earthquakes, mass movements above or below water, some volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, underwater earthquakes, large asteroid impacts and testing with nuclear weapons at sea all have the potential to generate a tsunami

Greek historian Thucydides was the first to relate tsunamis to submarine quakes,^[1] ^[2] but understanding of the nature of tsunamis remained slim until the 20th century

The term tsunami comes from the Japanese meaning harbor ("tsu", 津) and wave ("nami", 波).

80% of all tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean

Historically speaking, tsunami are not rare, with at least 25 tsunami occurring in the last century. Of these, many were recorded in the Asia-Pacific region - particularly Japan. The Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 caused approx. 350,000 deaths and many more injuries.

Offensive: Children's Story, Three Pigs story ruled ‘offensive to Muslims’

A children’s story based on the tale of the Three Little Pigs was rejected for an award after judges became concerned that it would offend Muslims.

animated virtual book for primary school children, The Three Little Cowboy Builders, was also criticised for its potential to offend builders.

The idea of taking a traditional tale and retelling a story is fine, but it should not alienate parts of the workforce. Judges would not recommend this product to the Muslim community in particular.”

Duhhh... what?
