A tsunami is caused by a massive disturbance to a large body
of water. The disturbance has to be under the water or in the
water. This means that sea-floor fault ruptures, underwater
volcanic activity, landslides or earthquakes, explosions in the
water or a large object (such as a meteorite)

FINAL ROUND Question
What is a super volcano ?
List one Example
ANSWER
BACK TO GAME
FINAL ROUND Answer
Definition:
The common understanding is a volcanic eruption that is
several orders of magnitude stronger than most volcanic
eruptions seen today. This would produce dramatic effects on
the surrounding landscape and the global climate.
Examples:
Yellowstone, Long Valley in eastern California, Toba in
Indonesia, and Taupo in New Zealand. Other
"supervolcanoes" would likely include the large caldera
volcanoes of Japan, Indonesia, and South America.
