Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace a large volume of water. The sudden movement of the Earth's crust vertically displaces the water above, creating a series of powerful waves that travel across the ocean at high speeds. These waves can grow in height and intensity as they approach shallow coastal areas, resulting in devastating impacts on communities near the Coastlines.
