Tsunamis primarily form as a result of underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace a large volume of water. This displacement creates waves that radiate outward, traveling quickly through deep ocean water. As these waves approach the shore, they slow down and increase in height due to wave shoaling, which can lead to significant and potentially devastating flooding when they reach land. Other causes of tsunamis can include meteorite impacts and certain weather phenomena, although these are less common.
