A tsunami is primarily caused by the sudden displacement of a large volume of seawater. Around 80% of destructive tsunamis are triggered by powerful underwater earthquakes occurring at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slips beneath another. Other causes...

When an earthquake happens, energy travels through Earth in the form of seismic waves. These waves move outward from the earthquake source and create the shaking people feel on the surface. Scientists study earthquake wave types to understand: how earthquakes spread...
