GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When a sudden displacement of a large volume of water occurs, or if the sea floor is suddenly raised or dropped by an earthquake, big tsunami waves can be formed. The waves travel out of the area of origin and can be extremely dangerous and damaging when they reach the shore.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tsunamis (pronounced soo-ná-mees), also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called “tidal waves”), are a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite.

Detailed explanation-3: -Waves are formed when wind scrape across the ocean surface. The stronger the wind blows the bigger the wave becomes. During a storm the winds blowing at a very high speed and form huge waves.

Detailed explanation-4: -A submarine, undersea, or underwater earthquake is an earthquake that occurs underwater at the bottom of a body of water, especially an ocean. They are the leading cause of tsunamis.
