How is a tsunami formed?

• When denser plate is subducted

• When strong earthquakes are generated at the ocean floor

• When continental plate is collided with another continental plate

What will happen to the leading edge of the subducted denser plate?

• It will later reach the mantle, causing it to melt and turn into magma

• It will later reach the mantle and evaporate

• Volcanic arc will form
