A tsunami is big ocean waves caused by earthquakes or landslides under the sea. When tectonic plates move and cause earthquakes, they push energy into the water, creating waves. These waves can grow very tall when they reach land. Tsunamis can cause huge damage to people and cities because the strong water destroys buildings and takes lives.
