Yes morning and will send you
Explanation:
A tsunami is a series of waves that are generated by the movement of the seafloor. These movements are due to natural calamities like earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. The word 'tsunami' is derived from the Japanese word, 'tsu' means harbor and 'nami' means wave.
The speed of the tsunami can be determined by the formula,
Speed = √gravity x depth of water
Tectonic earthquakes are kinds of earthquakes that are associated with crustal deformation. When these tectonic plates are below the sea, the water above the deformed plates is displaced from its normal position. Based on the extent of deformation, the waves generated from the displaced will result in a tsunami. For example, in 1941, an earthquake occurred in the Bay of Bengal. This caused damage in some parts of the Andaman region. This was said to be an unusual scenario because most of the tsunami occurs near continental slopes.
