The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Tsunami**: A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by any large and sudden disturbance in or near a body of water. This disturbance can be due to various reasons, but the most common cause is an underwater earthquake. 2. **Identifying Causes of Tsunami**: The main causes of tsunamis include: - Underwater earthquakes - Volcanic eruptions - Landslides - Meteorite impacts 3. **Focusing on Earthquakes**: Among these causes, underwater earthquakes are the most significant contributors to tsunamis. When an earthquake occurs beneath the ocean floor, it displaces a large volume of water, leading to the formation of tsunami waves. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, we conclude that a tsunami is primarily the after effect of an earthquake that occurs beneath the sea. **Final Answer**: Tsunami is the after effect of an earthquake beneath the sea. ---
