These waves are sometimes higher than 100 feet and destroy everything that comes in their way when they hit the land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They occur when the ocean floor rises and falls suddenly, displacing the water above and creating enormous waves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underwater landslides and volcanic eruptions can also cause <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tsunamis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reveal that around 80 of the world\u2019s tsunamis happen in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
