Tsunami waves become dangerous only when they get close to the coast: the height of a Tsunami wave grows larger as the water becomes more and more shallow in a wave shoaling process. If we look at the natural causes of this phenomenon, we’ll realize the shoaling process is strictly related to the wave "amplitude".

An increase in wave amplitude results in "shoaling" when waves, including tsunamis, run from deep to shallow water. This is significant in coastal regions. This phenomena occurs because of the force from the seabed as it becomes shallower. This slows down the wave: the shallower the water, the slower the wave.

Shoaling happens because waves experience force from the seabed as the water gets shallower. This slows down the wave – the shallower the water, the slower the wave.

Internet/Book Information

The more shallow the water then the wave slows down. This happens when the seabed becomes higher which forces the water to slow down and waves become higher.
