In the deep ocean, the tsunami wave may only be a few inches high. The tsunami wave may come gently ashore or may increase in height to become a fast moving wall of turbulent water several meters high. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has the primary responsibility of providing warnings but also carries out research and observations as well. On their website they educate on why tsunami&#8217;s occur, how to prevent them, what to do when one happens, information on past global tsunami&#8217;s, as well as photos and interactive demonstrations of the oceanic beasts.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tsunami.noaa.gov\/\">Check it out!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tsunami is a series of ocean waves\u00a0generated by sudden displacements in the sea floor, landslides, or volcanic activity.
