earthquakes can cause tsunamis because the earth's plates,

(search up earth's plates on Google...) slowly move colliding against each other causing violent trembles known as earthquakes. because the ocean is covering the earth's plates up we cannot see that it is moving plates that are causing massive waves called "tsunamis." - by Sheenji- sheenjiberry@gmail.com
