The tsunamis we hear about most often are caused by undersea earthquakes, and the waves they generate can travel at speeds of up to 250 miles per hour and reach tens of meters high when they make landfall and break.Tue, 22 Jun 2021 09:33:00 +0200technology-4b7d70a3cdc6a4fc8389de561288f30320210622093300https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/06/210621160524.htmBut significant tsunamis can be caused by other events as well. The partial collapse of the volcano Anak Krakatau in Indonesia in 2018 caused a tsunami that killed more than 400 people. Large landslides, which send immense amounts of debris into the sea, also can cause tsunamis.Tue, 22 Jun 2021 02:11:00 +0200sciencedaily-47e546b6b3875b6c1a182504c0fc188120210622021100https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2021-06/uoc--tso062121.phpThe word "tsunami" brings immediately to mind the havoc that can be wrought by these uniquely powerful waves.
