उत्तर
Tsunamis
Explanation:
The phenomenon experienced by Japan, which lies in the ring of fire, as a result of an earthquake taking place under the ocean is called a tsunami. This is because tsunamis are giant sea waves generated by earthquakes that have their epicenter on the sea floor. Since Japan is an island country and lies in a highly seismic zone known as the ring of fire, it frequently encounters tsunamis caused by undersea earthquakes.
