When a volcano erupts, it will cause shockwaves to be radiated out due to the impact. The shockwaves will cause waves to form and travel at high speeds. When it approaches the Coastlines, the waves will start to get higher as the seafloor gets shallower, causing a tsunami.

because they were formed under the sea so when they erupt the can form tsunamis
Function of PHIVOLCS?
PHIVOLCS is the abbreviated form of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. The function of PHIVOLCS is to monitor the activities of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes.
How are tsunamis made?
tsunamis are formed by underwater volcanoes, meteorites, and both of them equal up to the final disaster, an earthquake.
Does underwater volcanoes cause tsunamis and later become islands?
no
What is responsible for earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
high earth pressure
