What is considered the primary cause of a tsunami?
A tsunami is a series of massive ocean waves typically generated by underwater disturbances. The most common cause is a large-scale undersea earthquake, which causes a sudden vertical displacement of the seafloor. This displacement pushes the entire water column above it, creating waves that travel outward across the ocean at high speeds, eventually growing in height as they approach shallower coastal waters.
