How Tsunamis form Tsunamis are formed as a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that occur under the sea. When these events occur under the water, huge amounts of energy are released as a result of quick upward bottom movement.
What happens in a tsunami? Three stages of tsunami Tsunami are different from wind swell waves and have three overlapping but quite distinct stages. Generation of tsunami is caused by any force that disturbs a water column. Propagation of this displaced water occurs as it moves across the deep ocean. When a tsunami is generated, the waves will spread out in all directions.
