Tsunamis are among the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena on Earth. They are caused by large-scale disturbances in the ocean, including underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides, which can generate massive waves that travel across the ocean at high speeds. Our Tsunami page provides a comprehensive guide to these geological hazards, including their causes, effects, and mitigation strategies.
