A tsunami can move more than water. 🌊 Understanding how #tsunami debris and sediment moves and where it might end up is a critical part of preparing for and recovery from a tsunami. 🔍Explore more: www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/tsunami/...

🌊 #Tsunami are a series of powerful waves often caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. As tsunami waves approach the shore, they build in size, their currents intensify, and they become a threat to life & property. Go to tsunami.ca.gov for more information.
