It then lists underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and meteor impacts as potential causes of tsunamis. Finally, it outlines some of the major effects of tsunamis such as destruction and damage, death and injury, financial loss, psychological problems, and environmental impacts.

by wind, or tides which are generated by the
gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun, a tsunami
is generated by the displacement of water.
