Tsunamis are primarily caused by underwater earthquakes, particularly those that occur along tectonic plate boundaries. When an earthquake displaces a large volume of water, it generates powerful waves that travel across the ocean. Other causes include volcanic eruptions, landslides, and meteorite impacts. These events can create significant disturbances in the water column, leading to the formation of tsunamis.
