how does tsunami occurs ?
Answers
Answer:
A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by any large and sudden disturbance of the sea surface. Tsunamis can be generated by landslides, volcanic eruptions, or even meteorite impacts in the ocean. But they are most often caused by an earthquake where there's a sudden displacement of the ocean floor.
Explanation:
Most tsunami are caused by large earthquakes at the seafloor, when large slabs of rock are forced to move past each other suddenly causing the overlying water to move. The resulting wave moves outwards and away from this event. Underwater landslides can cause tsunami, and so can land which slumps into the ocean.
Some of the major reasons for formation of tsunamis are as follows:
(i) Undersed earthquakes:
(ii) Landslides:
(iii) Volcanic Eruptions:
(iv) Meteorites and Asteroids:
