What is another word for submarine earthquake?
Pronunciation: [sˈʌbməɹˌiːn ˈɜːθkwe͡ɪk] (IPA) 
A submarine earthquake is a type of earthquake that occurs underwater, usually near tectonic plate boundaries. There are several synonyms for this phenomenon, including an undersea earthquake, subaquatic earthquake, or oceanic earthquake. These types of earthquakes can also be referred to as seismic tremors or underwater seismic activity. Tsunamis are often associated with submarine earthquakes, as the movement of the tectonic plates can cause a displacement of water which in turn creates giant waves. The study of submarine earthquakes is called seismology. Understanding these earthquakes and their potential effects on coastal communities is important for disaster risk reduction and management.
