Answer:
Tsunamis and storm surges are caused by different events but both result in flooding and damage to coastal areas. Tsunamis are immense sea waves (10 metres or more), which are produced by underwater events such as earthquakes, mudslides and volcanic eruptions. They start out small in the open seas but amplify in size as they reach shallow water. In 1929, when an earthquake-generated tsunami hit the south coast of Newfoundland, 28 people died.
