A tsunami can happen if a large volume of water is suddenly displaced by an undersea earthquake.
If an earthquake occurs under the ocean, it can trigger a tsunami by displacing a large volume of water. Tsunamis are fast-moving waves that can travel great distances across the ocean and cause devastating damage when they reach the coastline. Additionally, submarine earthquakes can also pose a risk to undersea infrastructure such as cables and pipelines.
Tsunamis can be triggered by earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher, typically when the earthquake occurs under the ocean floor and displaces a large volume of water. Smaller earthquakes can also generate tsunamis if they trigger a significant underwater landslide.
A tsunami is caused by a sudden disturbance on the seafloor, like an earthquake or underwater landslide, that displaces a large volume of water. This displacement creates a series of powerful waves that can travel long distances across the ocean and result in a rise in water level when they reach shallow coastal areas.
The mass movement that occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass is called a landslide. This can happen due to various factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities that disturb the stability of the slope. Landslides can cause significant damage to infrastructure and pose risks to human lives.
A large wave created by some earthquakes is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are generated by the displacement of water caused by underwater seismic activity, leading to the formation of powerful and destructive ocean waves.

It forms a giant wave
An undersea earthquake can trigger a Tsunami by suddenly displacing a large volume of water.
no, a tsunami is caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water.

A tsunami
Tsunami...right tsunami is a series of water wave caused by displacement of large volume of water...tsunami is not a state nor a town nor a city
A freshwater tsunami is commonly referred to as a limnic eruption or a lake overturn. It occurs when a large amount of gas, usually carbon dioxide, is suddenly released from a lake, displacing the water and potentially causing a tsunami-like wave.
A tsunami is a large wave.
A tsunami is typically generated by the displacement of a large volume of water, usually from undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. The medium through which a tsunami travels is water, specifically ocean water.
A tsunami is caused by the displacement of a large volume of water,typically an ocean or a large lake.Eartquakes,volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions ,landslides ,glacier calvings,meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below all have the potential to generate a tsunami. :)
Yes it is and it still is. A tsunami is a series of powerful waves that is caused by the displacement of a large volume of water. They usually occur in the ocean, but sometimes they can occur in lakes.
