Study reveals 700m seafloor collapse triggered tsunamis in 2022 Tonga eruption

A new study explains that the 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano caused the seafloor to collapse by 700 meters within minutes. This rapid collapse is identified as the cause of the powerful tsunamis that affected Tonga and surrounding areas. The findings provide insight into the geological processes behind the eruption's impact.
