Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Tsunami causes

Quake shakes the water and creates very strong waves. Waves move very quickly. When the waves come crashing ashore and height rises and reaches hundreds of feet, and they wash into shore power and speed and destroy everything in its way. When the wave enters shallow water, it slows down and its amplitude (height) increases.
