00:00Hey everybody, it's Mr. DeMaio and-

00:02Wait!

00:03You're not planning on doing the whole video like that, are you?

00:06Yeah, why?

00:08Do you own a mirror?

00:10Yes.

00:11Are you legally blind?

00:13No, man, come on, what's wrong?

00:16Absolutely nothing.

00:18Anyway, today we're going to learn about tsunamis!

00:25Where are we?

00:27Tsunamis are more likely to occur in certain places than they are in other places.

00:32Here, look at this map.

00:34This map shows where tsunamis are more likely to occur.

00:38The red area shows where there is a greater risk of tsunamis,

00:42and the gray area shows where there is a smaller risk.

00:46And the most tsunamis occur in a specific part of the Pacific Ocean called the Ring of Fire.

00:53There are a ton of earthquakes.

00:55Click the link up above.

00:57Volcanoes.

00:59Click the link up above.

01:01That occur there.

01:02This place is really dangerous.

01:04I don't care how dangerous it is.

01:06I ain't wearing no Hello Kitty float.

01:09I'm glad you realize how dangerous tsunamis really are.

01:12Tsunamis cause roughly $350 million in damages each year.

01:17Here, look at this picture.

01:19This picture shows a town before a tsunami hit.

01:23And this picture shows what happened after.

01:26And before.

01:28After.

01:29Before.

01:30After.

01:32Before.

01:33After.

01:35Before.

01:36Well, I'm just glad we haven't run into...

01:39Uh-oh.

01:40Wave at 3 o'clock.

01:41Why would I wave at 3 o'clock?

01:42Now!

01:43Wave over there!

01:44Why would I wave...

01:45Oh!

01:47Quick, pause it!

01:49Hey, hey, hey.

01:52Take it easy, man.

01:53Over here, man.

01:54Big, giant wave.

01:56Waving at you.

01:57I can't actually wave, but...

01:59You know, because I'm made of water and all that.

02:01But one day, I wish I can.

02:03That's one of my goals one day.

02:04That and to get a college degree in plumbing.

02:09Is that a thing?

02:10I don't know.

02:11Wait, I thought you were a tsunami.

02:13Eh, big wave, tsunami.

02:14You can call me whatever you like, you know.

02:16Us tsunamis aren't too big on names.

02:18Well, except for my cousin Peter.

02:20He spells his name with a Y, which I always thought was kind of weird.

02:23But all that matters is that you know what a tsunami is.

02:26And it's a long, high sea wave caused by a variety of things.

02:31Like an earthquake or something.

02:33Whoa.

02:34Are earthquakes the only thing that cause tsunamis?

02:37Nah, man.

02:38Lots of things do.

02:39Like volcanic eruptions.

02:41Landslides.

02:43Meteorite crashes.

02:45And like I said, earthquakes.

02:47But hopefully you remember because I said that like 13 seconds ago or something.

02:52Whoa.

02:53So many things cause tsunamis.

02:55But are they all as high as you?

02:57Oh, I don't know, man.

02:58I'm just a big, giant wave.

03:00I'm not even sure if I have a brain in my head.

03:02Or if I even have a head.

03:04Probably just a bunch of dead fish inside of me.

03:07Oh, maybe you should ask the dead fish.

03:09Hey, dead fish inside the tsunami.

03:12Are all tsunamis as big as this guy?

03:17Yeah, I just remembered all the fish are dead.

03:19Maybe we can hang out and go find some living fish together, you know?

03:23No, stop.

03:24We're not hanging out and finding dead fish together.

03:26Hey, hey.

03:27Take it easy, man.

03:28I don't mean to make a big splash.

03:35Oh, that's just a little wave joke for you.

03:37You know, like a big splash.

03:38A big splash?

03:39Like a big, big splash in the water?

03:42We get it.

03:43But to answer your question from before, I'm a pretty big wave.

03:46But most tsunamis cause the sea to raise about 10 feet.

03:50But really big tsunamis cause waves to raise up to 100 feet.

03:54And in really deep water, tsunamis barely cause waves bigger than 3 feet.

03:59They're so small, people barely notice them.

04:02Wow.

04:03How fast can a tsunami travel?

04:04Well, tsunamis can travel at speeds up to 500 miles per hour.

04:08If I ever travel, I want to go to that one island, you know, where all the cats live.

04:12It's like a big cat island.

04:14Imagine all these different cats just dressed up in different outfits.

04:18Like a cat cup.

04:20Maybe like a cat firefighter with a little cat axe.

04:24If you zoom in on the axe, it says, meow.

04:32Cat island's actually a real thing.

04:34You can Google it if you don't believe me.

04:36I'd Google it, but I got water hands. I would destroy your phone.

04:40Oh, that stinks.

04:41Yeah, you're telling me.

04:43I haven't checked my Facebook or Instagram in like nine years.

04:46I can't even use my electric toothbrush.

04:48And I don't even have any teeth.

04:50When you get on, you should add us.

04:52Okay, what's your username?

04:53At Mr. Dot De Mayo.

04:55Yeah, just remember that I can't write things down.

04:58If I do, the paper gets wet.

04:59Oh, maybe we can ask one of these dead fish.

05:02No, no more dead fish stuff.

05:03Fine, take it easy, man.

05:05Hey, what's your username?

05:07It's DeadFish45.

05:10Yeah, I tried to get just dead fish without the numbers,

05:12but my cousin Peter with a Y took it.

05:15I'm sick of this guy. Can we just go home now?

05:17I wouldn't do that if I were you.

05:19Tsunamis can reach really far inland.

05:21How far?

05:22It's been said that some tsunamis can reach up to 630 miles inland.

05:27I'd write this information down for you, but...

05:29Let me guess, have no hands again?

05:31Well, maybe there are dead fish...

05:32Stop! No more dead fish stuff, please.

05:35Yeah, I'm kind of over the whole dead fish joke anyway.

05:38Anytime I think of the dead fish, I start to cry.

05:41It's just like more water pouring on top of more water. It's weird.

05:44Alright, I'm ready to end this video.

05:46Wait, we heard about what causes a tsunami,

05:49but how about how a tsunami actually occurs?

05:52Oh, I can answer that. Here, check this out.

05:56Well, like I said before, tsunamis are caused by lots of stuff,

06:00but the thing that causes the most of them is earthquakes,

06:03so let's focus on that.

06:05So first, an earthquake happens underwater,

06:08and when the tectonic plates shift against each other,

06:11a ton of energy is created.

06:14This sends a bunch of energy towards the surface of the water.

06:18This causes the water to move and the sea level to rise.

06:22When this happens, gravity is pulling it back down,

06:26and this makes the water spread horizontally.

06:29This gives birth to a tsunami.

06:31What's weird is I said give birth to a tsunami,

06:34but that sounds like I had a little baby tsunami boy,

06:37and that didn't happen, so I didn't want to, like, mislead you.

06:40Hey, hey, where'd you go?

06:44Ugh, I'm so glad to be done with that guy.

06:46I mean, he was just so annoying.

06:48Stop. Wave.

06:51No, wave.

06:53Why would I wave? Ugh.

06:55Oh, hey, man. Want to find some dead fish?

06:58Uh-oh.

07:07...a popular diet and medication in Gokarna,

07:10we recently stopped taking this drug.

07:12Ah!

07:13Today we're going to learn about tsunamis.

07:16Ooh!

07:19Ow, my butt!

07:21I got shot!

07:24I got shot!

07:25Oh, no!

07:26Yam sandwiches.

07:27Yam soup.
