Undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

Do shock waves cause tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
What is the most common cause of tsunamis?
Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.
Can heavey rain cause a tsunami?
No, heavy rain cannot cause a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically generated by underwater tectonic plate movements, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Heavy rain does not have the same energy or mechanism to produce a tsunami.
What causes mega tsunamis?
Landslides and other big impacts like volcanic eruptions cause mega tsunamis
What cause the most tsunamis?
Over 200,000 from one tsunami

Why all tsunamis don't cause earthquakes?
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
What are some factors that cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are caused by undersea landslides. There are many possible causes for undersea landslides, but the most common are undersea earthquakes.

Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
