  • A tsunami (plural: tsunamis or tsunami; from Japanese: 津波, lit. "harbor wave";
  • is a series of water waves
  • Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.

  • Tsunami are sometimes referred to as tidal waves
  • Tsunami and tides both produce waves of water that move inland, but in the case of tsunami the inland movement of water is much greater and lasts for a longer period, giving the impression of an incredibly high tide

    This shows the difference between tidal waves & tsunamis. Also how some tsunamis are caused.

    tsunamies are big waves that come from the sea and makes a big disaster. below water there is alot of potential to make a tsunamies.if the tsunamies are to big thy can damage the oceans basins.

    Tsunamis waves do not resemble normal waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide, and for this reason they are often referred to as tidal waves.
