Abstract

Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by the oceans. The seafloor beneath the oceans is a dynamic, active environment, and is where we find several important natural hazards, including underwater landslides, earthquakes, and tsunami. Some of the events that happen in the ocean can have a huge impact on land and are dangerous to people that live near coastlines. To understand how and why these natural hazards happen, we must know what is happening at the seafloor. Unfortunately, about 75% of the seafloor has still not been mapped. In this article, we will describe what causes these hazards and how we can find out more about them.
