Tsunami's
How they form!
Tsunami's basically come from earthquakes. Undersea landslides (which are created by earthquakes) makes the water maneuver into a stable position making waves not big enough to be a tsunami though, it takes a lot to form a tsunami, that's why they're so rare. An undersea volcano erupts and that give the waves the push it needs to form a tsunami!
