T-sunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water generally in a large lake or ocean. Earth quakes, volcanic eruptions and other under water explosions including detonation, land slides, glacier calving, meteorite impact and other disturbances above or below water, all have the potential to generate t-sunami. The name t-sunami is a Japanese oigin, meaning as 'Harbour wave'. Identified t-sunami prone areas are Indonesia and Japan.
In Japan earth quake engineering measures have been taken to reduce the damages caused on shore. The country has built many t-sunami walls of up to 12 meters high to protect populated coastal areas. Other localities have built flood gates of upto 15.5 meters high and water canals to redirect the water from an incoming t-sunami.
