All three of the listed events can cause tsunamis:
I. Earthquakes: The majority of tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, especially those that occur at tectonic plate boundaries.
II. Volcanic eruptions: Explosive volcanic eruptions can displace large amounts of water and generate tsunamis. This can occur due to the eruption itself, as well as the collapse of volcanic islands.
III. Landslides: Underwater landslides or landslides that occur near coastlines can also displace water and trigger tsunamis.
Therefore, all three causes—earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides—can indeed lead to the generation of tsunamis.
