Detailed explanation-1: -There are four levels of tsunami alerts: warning, advisory, watch, and information statement.
Detailed explanation-2: -A tsunami has four general stages: initiation, split, amplification, and run-up. During initiation, a large set of ocean waves are caused by any large and sudden disturbance of the sea surface, most commonly earthquakes but sometimes also underwater landslides.
Detailed explanation-3: -The life of a tsunami is usually divided into three phases: the generation (tsunami source), the propagation and the inundation. Each phase is complex and often described separately.
Detailed explanation-4: -A tsunami begins far offshore, with an earthquake, volcanic eruption or landslide. The sudden movement on the seabed displaces the water above it. Although the vertical movement may initially be less than a metre, it covers a large area and the total volume of water displaced is huge.
