Tsunamis are generated by abrupt massive movements (changes) in the sea floor. An eruption of a volcano in or adjacent to the sea may be accompanied by earthquakes, and an earthquake may move the sea floor sufficiently to generate a tsunami. A second possible way for a volcano to create a tsunami might be due to a landslide from the side of a volcano. Such a mass movement of material into the sea would also displace water, and could generate a tsunami. Additionally, sometimes volcanoes explode violently, and that mass movement of material could also create a tsunami.
Most tsunami are caused by large earthquakes at the seafloor, when large slabs of rock are forced to move past each other suddenly causing the overlying water to move. The resulting wave moves outwards and away from this event. Underwater landslides can cause tsunami, and so can land which slumps into the ocean. Landslides happen when slopes become too steep to withstand gravity. Less common are tsunami initiated by volcanic eruptions. These occur in several ways: 1  if an underwater volcano erupts, the hot lava may heat the surrounding water quickly and explosively. 2  massive flows of volcanic debris such as ash can travel down the side of a volcano and into the ocean, pushing water outwards.
