A tsunami (pronounced /tsʊˈnɑːmi/) is a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. Earthquakes, mass movements above or below water, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, large meteorite impacts and testing with nuclear weapons at sea all have the potential to generate a tsunami.

Tsunami is a geological phenomenon which occurs due to disturbance in the ocean floor due to movements like earth quake. it happens when the plates in the ocean floor shifts up or down, causing a large mass of water being pushed to one side of the ocean
