    Tsunamis Grade 8 q2

    1) Earthquakes occurring underwater or along coastlines can generate tsunamis by displacing water. 2) When tectonic plates collide underwater in an earthquake, it can cause a vertical push that uplifts the sea floor and displaces water, creating tsunami waves. 3) As the tsunami waves approach shorelines, they slow down and increase in size, becoming very destructive harbor waves capable of inundating coastal areas.
