INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that large undersea earthquakes can trigger tsunamis in the surrounding ocean?
Unclear. Several reference and peer-reviewed items associate large undersea earthquakes with tsunamis, and one 2024 study documents the 1956 Amorgos earthquake triggering the largest Mediterranean tsunami in two centuries. None of the placed items states the general causal claim directly; they support it only in part.
