Why are Tsunamis Occurring?

Q. Why are Tsunamis Occurring?

When large underwater earthquakes shake the seafloor, tsunamis appear. And the stronger the shocks , the more powerful the Tsunami will be.

Underwater landslides and explosions also cause Tsunamis. So-called Mega Tsunamis are caused by above-water landslides or "glacier calving".

Unfortunately, Tsunamis, as well as earthquakes, are still impossible to predict accurately.
