Tsunami's Caused by Volcanoes

There have been a quite a few number of tsunami's that have been created by a volcanic eruption. Two of the most well know eruptions are those of Mt. Vesuvius(Italy) in 79 A.D. and Mt. St. Helens (U.S.A.) in 1980.

Although Mt. Vesuvius and Mt. St. Helens are more well known eruptions that caused tsunami's, there have been more eruptions that have occured elsewhere that have also caused much destruction. Taal is a volcano in the Philippines that has erupted many times over the years that has caused many tsunami's in that area.
