Tsunami (also known as 津波、つなみ in ancient Greek, derived from the Japanese words "nami" for wave and "tsu" for Run like hell), also known as God's Money Shot, is a scientific term that describes large waves created when the Moon is at it's closest point to the Earth (or it's apogee), creating large tidal waves, cleverly known as tidal waves. They have also been known to have been formed by whale flatulance causing mass disturbance in bodies of open water. Tsunamis can travel around the world in less than 54 minutes, providing a fast yet cheap form of transport in several undeveloped countries.

[edit] Tourism

Tsunamis are extremely important economically to warm coastal regions worldwide as they attract large numbers of high spending surfers to these parts every year. Up to 300,000 surfers have been known to hit the beaches of the Maldives and Sri Lanka during one event and on the western coast of Japan, towns and cities have even had to build walls in the past to prevent mass numbers of Samurai surfers invading. Only the most weary of surfers take part in tsunami surfing however as tsunamis have proven to be fatal in the past, with several colonies of crabs being killed every year. Sometimes they are known to flood and devastate communities too, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, New Orleans and North Uist in the Western Isles of Scotland being classic examples.
