How Does Tsunami caused by volcanic sources Work?

A tsunami from a volcano is like when you drop a giant rock into a swimming pool, suddenly, water goes flying everywhere!

Imagine a volcano under the ocean erupting. It's like someone threw a big, hot mess into the sea. This eruption can make the ocean floor shake and even collapse, sending a huge wave toward the shore.

When the volcano erupts, it might cause an underwater landslide, think of it like a pile of sand sliding down a hill in the ocean. This slide pushes water up, creating a big wave that travels across the sea.

These waves can move super fast, faster than a race car! When they reach shallow water near the coast, they suddenly grow really tall and crash onto the land like a giant wall of water.

Sometimes, this happens in places like Indonesia or Japan, where big volcanoes are under the sea. It's like nature’s version of a splash, loud, powerful, and surprising!
