    sunamis cause immense damage to coastal areas.

    Answer:

    Tsunamis cause immense damage to coastal areas as they are tidal waves triggered off by large underwater earthquakes which occur on the ocean floors and travel at a speed up to 800 km/hr. When these waves reach coastal areas, they slowdown in speed but rise up rapidly in height up to 15 metres. So these waves cause much destruction and loss of life.
