Tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. The earthquakes cause vibrations in the water that send these humongous waves that cause mass destruction. An article from National geographic states "These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami." (Nat. GEO., 2013)
