A tsunami is a series of waves caused by earthquakes or undersea volcanic eruptions. ... The speed of tsunami waves depends on ocean depth rather than the distance from the source of the wave.

A tsunami is a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance usually associated with earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean. Volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides, and coastal rock falls can also generate a tsunami, as can a large asteroid impacting the ocean
