Tsunamit

Tsunamit is a term that appears in a few sources but is not widely recognized in geography, seismology, or linguistics. In most cases, it is considered a misspelling or variant of tsunami, the name for a series of ocean waves generated by sudden displacement of large volumes of water. The standard term tsunami derives from Japanese tsu (harbor) and nami (wave). The addition of a trailing t does not correspond to an established usage, and there is no consensus on a separate meaning.

If encountered, tsunamit may refer informally to a tsunami in some non-English texts, or could be used as a proper noun (for example, a fictional character, place, or product name) without widespread acceptance. Because of lack of authoritative definition, the term should be clarified by context or corrected to tsunami when describing natural hazards.

For context, tsunami physics involve long-wavelength waves that behave as shallow-water waves in the ocean. They can be generated by undersea earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, or meteorological events. Unlike ordinary ocean waves, tsunami waves have long periods and travel at high speeds in deep water, with wave heights increasing near shorelines. Preparedness includes early warning systems, evacuation planning, and public education.
