Tsunamis do more harm than earthquakes because they are more destructive and can travel much farther than the seismic waves of an earthquake. Tsunamis are caused by the displacement of large amounts of water, which can cause flooding and destruction in coastal areas. Earthquakes, on the other hand, cause shaking and ground movement, which can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure, but the effects are usually localized. Tsunamis can travel hundreds of miles, causing destruction in multiple locations.
