Tsunami: When the Ocean Comes Ashore
Narrated by Marc Scott, this natural-disaster documentary short explains how tsunamis form, race across oceans at jetliner speeds, and strike coastlines in devastating waves. If you need documentary or docuseries narration for science and extreme weather, you’re in the right place.
Transcript
A tsunami isn’t just a wave.
It’s an ocean unleashed.
Most begin with an undersea earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. Energy surges through the entire column of water, not just the surface.
That force races across the ocean at jetliner speeds — nearly 500 miles per hour.
When it reaches the shore, it doesn’t rise as a single wave… but a towering wall of water that can flatten everything in its path.
And here’s the trap: the first wave is rarely the last. Aftershocks and surges follow, striking again and again.
Because when the ocean itself comes ashore… there’s no outrunning it.
