Submarine landslides are underwater events where large masses of sediment and rock suddenly move down the continental slope. These slides can occur due to various factors, including earthquakes, volcanic activity, or the buildup of sediment. When the stability of the underwater slope is compromised, the material can rapidly slide, creating waves and disturbances in the surrounding water. These landslides can have significant impacts on marine ecosystems and coastal areas. They can trigger tsunamis, which are large ocean waves that can cause destruction when they reach shore. Additionally, submarine landslides can reshape the ocean floor and affect underwater habitats, impacting species like coral reefs and fish populations.
