Passage 1

Our vacation to Japan was going great. Then, the town we were staying in was threatened by a tidal wave. The entire town headed for the mountains to avoid the great wave headed to shore. When the wave struck shore, many waterfront properties and boats were damaged. Luckily, everyone had escaped from the town, and nobody was hurt.

Passage 2

Tidal waves are seismic sea waves or tsunamis. They are giant ocean waves made by earth movements such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides. Tsunamis can travel at speeds up to 450 miles per hour. When they approach shallow water, their height can rise to as high as 100 feet.
