How they happen How they happen Tsunamis are caused by an underwater earthquake, a volcanic eruption, and a sub-marine rockslide, or, more rarely, by and asteroid or meteoroid crashing into in the water from space. M Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, but not all underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis - an earthquake has to be over about magnitude 6.75 on the Richter scale for it to cause a tsunami. A About 90 percent of all tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean.
