Answer:

Tsunami:

A tsunami is a series of large waves generated by an abrupt movement on the ocean floor that can result from an earthquake, an underwater landslide, a volcanic eruption or - very rarely -a large meteorite strike. However, powerful undersea earthquakes are responsible for most tsunamis.

causes of Tsunami

•Earthquakes: It can be generated by movements along fault zones associated with plate boundaries.

•Landslides: A landslide that occurs along the coast can force large amounts of water into the sea, disturbing the water and generate a tsunami.

•Volcanic Eruption

•Extraterrestrial Collision

main causes of Tsunami:

Tsunamis are caused by violent seafloor movement associated with earthquakes, landslides, lava entering the sea, seamount collapse, or meteorite impact. The most common cause is earthquakes. See the percentages on the right for the geological events that cause tsunamis.
