How is a Tsunami created?
Tsunamis are usually created by seismic activity underwater. Underwater
plates shifting too fast, for example can cause underwater earthquakes.
This can displace large peices of earth, which in turn displaces water. The
displaced water then becomes a tsunami. Underwater volcanoes can also
cause tsunamis by also displacing water as they erupt.
What happened?
What happened is there was a underwater earthquake.
Which killed alot of people. The people that are still
alive a lot of family members are dead.
