A tsunami is a large, destructive ocean wave that is usually caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When there is a rapid displacement of a large mass of water, it generates powerful waves that can travel across oceans and cause significant damage when they reach coastal areas.
