When one of the earth's plates shifts, one of the plates can move upwards and make a wave that can stand anywhere ranging from 1 foot, to a 100+ foot tall wall of water. the bigger the wave, the more damage the tsunami can cause, for instance, it has in the past made islands smaller than they used to be.
hope this helps.

How do droughts change in landforms?
Droughts change landforms by not growing plants more and animals to not get food to eat and no shelter for animals. :D :P C:
Which is not a way that people change landforms?

Does the climate change after a tsunami?
There is little reason for a tsunami to change the climate. Climates are affected by changes in the distribution of warm and cold air. Tsunami don't do this. Tsunami are caused by undersea earthquakes and these generate an insignificant amount of heat, made even more insignificant by the huge heat capacity of the ocean. For a tsunami to affect climate it would have to be caused by a major volcanic eruption. In such a case, the volcanic activity would get the blame, not the water. The only way a tsunami might be more closely related to a climate change would be this: Suppose a tsunami were caused by a huge shifting of the ocean bed and that this caused a major change in an ocean current. That would result in a change in the earth's heat distribution and thus its climate. But still, it's the earthquake getting the blame for both - the tsunami and the climate change.

How do landforms change quickly?
Landforms can change quickly due to sudden geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and tsunamis. These events can rapidly alter the shape and structure of the land, leading to the formation of new landforms or the destruction of existing ones. Human activities such as mining, deforestation, and construction can also cause rapid changes to landforms.
