A submarine earthquake is an earthquake that occurs beneath the ocean floor. Like other types of earthquakes, it is caused by the movement of tectonic plates and the release of accumulated stress along geological faults. The seismic waves generated by these earthquakes can vary in intensity and may lead to underwater landslides, tsunamis, and other geological events. Submarine earthquakes can occur at mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, or transform fault boundaries, and they can significantly affect marine environments and coastal areas.
