An earthquake caused the tsunami!
The word "Tsunami" comes from the Japanese words "tsu" (harbor) and "nami" (wave), as tsunamis are typically generated by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that cause powerful ocean waves. The "T" in tsunami reflects its origin and pronunciation in the Japanese language.
