How does a meteorite cause a tsunami?

Here is my final verison of how does a meteorite cause a tsunami?

A meteorite can easily cause a tsunami of it lands in an ocean. If a meteorite lands in the ocean is will first off all turn water around it to steam because of how hot it is and secondly make tsunami waves rush from where the meteorite hit.

A meteorite landing in the ocean acts exactly like a stone being dropped into water. The meteorite hits the water with tremendous force and takes up the place where the water previously was. This then makes the water rush away and produce tsunami waves.

There have been over 200 meteorites that have impacted the Earth in the earth’s history. The biggest one is believed to be that meteorite that hit the earth and had a part in killing the dinosaurs.

Meteorites hitting the earth are extremely dangerous because of how big the tsunamis can be. If a meteorite ten kilometres wide crashed into the sea, it would produce waves up to three kilometres high and would flood nearby continents.
