Earthquake triggers tsunami

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about earthquakes and their relation to the weather. This past Friday there was an earthquake that registered 6.5 on the Richter scale in Japan. This earthquake caused a small tsunami. In 2011, a similar tragedy happened in Japan but that tsunami caused much devastation. A tsunami is a seismic sea wave that is caused by the displacement of water. In this instance, the displaced water came from the earthquake.
