What causes a tsunami?

The answer is: earthquakes in the oceans.

Tsunamis are large waves generated by earthquakes in the ocean. They are caused by a sudden disturbance in the Earth's crust, which displaces water and produces a wave that can travel long distances across the ocean. Depending on the size of the earthquake and the depth of the water, these waves can be very large and powerful, often reaching up to 30 meters in height. Tsunamis can cause massive destruction and loss of life when they hit land. For this reason, it is important to understand the causes of tsunamis and prepare for them in coastal areas.
