How Tsunamis Are Created Tsunamis are generated when a large amount of water is
displaced very quickly. These phenomena include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
landslides, and even meteorite impacts. However, the most common cause is an
undersea earthquake. Tsunamis can also be created when the sea floor abruptly
moves at a fault in the earth’s crust. |
