Learn what an explanation text is using the example of a tsunami.

1

What is an Explanation Text?

An explanation text usually explains a process or how something works. It is written in the present simple tense and helps us understand complex ideas clearly.

2

Introduction to Tsunami

A tsunami is a giant sea wave caused by an underwater earthquake or other disturbances. The word 'tsunami' is Japanese, where 'Tsu' means harbour and 'nami' means wave.

3

What Causes a Tsunami?

A tsunami is often caused by an earthquake on the sea bed. When the rocks suddenly move, they cause a large wave to form and start spreading across the ocean.

4

How Do Tsunami Waves Form?

When the shock waves reach the surface, they push the water up, creating long, powerful waves. These waves can be very high and travel very fast across the ocean.

5

The Wave's Journey

As the waves travel, they grow taller and closer to the land. When they reach shallow water, they slow down but increase in height, becoming very dangerous.

6

Impact of a Tsunami

When a tsunami hits the land, it causes floods and can damage buildings, roads, and lives. It can also travel far inland, causing destruction.

7

What Happens When the Wave Crashes?

The wave crashes onto the land, bringing floods and destruction. It can be as high as 35 meters, which is very tall and powerful.

8

Why Do Tsunamis Cause Damage?

The destructive power of a tsunami comes from its height and speed. The large volume of water and the force of the wave can cause severe damage to coastal areas.

9

How Can We Prepare?

Understanding how a tsunami works helps us prepare better. Warning systems and evacuation plans are important to keep people safe from these natural disasters.

10

Summary: Explanation Texts and Tsunamis
