TRIPTICO-San Pedro y San Pabo

Tsunamis are massive waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic activity, capable of striking coastlines with little warning. They can be classified into local, regional, and distant tsunamis based on their distance from the source, with local tsunamis affecting areas within 60 miles and distant tsunamis originating over 600 miles away. The term 'tsunami' is of Japanese origin, meaning 'wave in the harbor,' and these waves can travel at high speeds across oceans.
