What causes strong powerful waves?
Strong powerful waves are typically caused by strong winds blowing consistently over a large area of water, generating energy that is transferred to the surface of the ocean. The longer and faster the wind blows, the larger and more powerful the waves become. Additionally, factors such as ocean currents, local topography, and storms can also contribute to the formation of large waves.
What happens underwater to cause a tsunami?
The most common underwater causes of tsunami are earthquakes and volcanoes. The event causes a large column of water to be displaced and moved out from the source. See the related question about the causes of tsunami for more detail about this question and about other causes of tsunami that may not start underwater.
