Best Answer

underwater earthquakes create tidal wave on surface
Poseidon is the god of earthquakes and the sea. Both of which are needed to cause a tsunami. It is obvious that Poseidon caused the Japan earthquake/tsunami. What was the reason? We can only guess. Perhaps he is protesting against the giant garbage float. We should repent immediately or suffer the consequences.
