Abstract
Tsunami waves travel at speeds of 300-600 miles per hour (483-966 km/hr), and the first wave may not be the largest one. Although most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes in oceanic and coastal regions, they can also be triggered by underwater landslides and submarine volcanic eruptions that are powerful enough to displace the surrounding water.
