Tsunamis are massive waves caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. They can occur at any time, depending on the triggering event. For example, a recent tsunami occurred on August 8, 2024, in the Hyuganada Sea, Japan, following a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. The tsunami reached a maximum height of about 40 cm near the epicenter.
Tsunamis are unpredictable but often follow significant seismic activity. Coastal areas are most at risk, and early warning systems play a crucial role in minimizing their impact.
