    Explanation
    Tsunamis cause damage by two mechanisms: the smashing force of a wall of water traveling at high speed, and the destructive power of a large volume of water draining off the land and carrying all with it, even if the wave did not look large. This means that the force of the tsunami waves can physically smash and destroy buildings, infrastructure, and anything else in its path, leading to widespread damage and destruction.
