Large ocean waves created by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions are known as tsunamis. These waves occur when the seafloor shifts rapidly, displacing a significant volume of water and generating powerful waves that can travel across entire ocean basins. Upon reaching shallow coastal areas, tsunamis can increase in height and cause devastating impacts on shorelines and coastal communities. Proper monitoring and early warning systems are crucial for minimizing the risks associated with these natural disasters.

The ocean floor does have underwater mountains called seamounts and undersea valleys known as trenches. These features are created by tectonic plate movements and volcanic activity on the ocean floor.
Yes, new rocks are constantly being formed through processes like magma solidification, sediment compaction, and mineral precipitation. These processes occur in geologically active areas such as volcanic regions, sedimentary basins, and hydrothermal environments.
