    As the leading edge of a tsunami wave approaches shore, it slows dramatically due to the shallower water. However, the trailing part of the wave can still be moving rapidly in the deeper water. This results in a piling up of the tsunami energy, and the tsunami wave height grows. The wave looks and acts like giant river of water on top of the ocean that floods the shore.
