The causes of tsunami

Most tsunamis are caused by the sudden displacement of large volume of water. Some others are caused by events that already happen in the other side of the world. Usually tsunamis are caused because of an earthquake which was the case for the devastating tsunami hit Japan on March 10, 2011  , a landslide (underwater land slide or coastal land slide that fall into water ) , a volcanic eruption or explosion and last because of the impact by a meteorite ( some large meteorite can fall in the ocean and cause a tsunami ) .
