Can a tsunami cause the sea surface to go down?
Yes, before a tsunami hits the shore, it can cause the sea surface level to recede significantly. This is known as a drawback effect, where water is pulled away from the coast as the tsunami energy builds up. Once the tsunami makes landfall, the water is then quickly pushed back towards the shore with tremendous force.
