Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An earthquake, submarine landslide, or eruption of an undersea volcano can generate powerful waves in the ocean, which are known as tsunamis. These waves can travel across entire ocean basins and can cause widespread damage and destruction when they reach coastlines. Tidal waves are not a correct answer as they are a rare phenomenon caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, and have nothing to do with seismic or volcanic activity. Slow-moving giant swells and killer waves are not specific terms used by scientists to describe waves generated by undersea activity. "Wave in the open ocean of great height" is too generic and does not specify the cause of the wave.
