Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tsunami is a series of waves with a long wavelength that results from a disturbance in the ocean, such as an earthquake, submarine landslide, or volcanic eruption. Tidal waves are actually another name for tsunamis and do not refer to the regular tidal patterns in the ocean. Slow-moving giant swells are large oceanic waves, but they are not necessarily caused by geological events. A wave in the open ocean of great height is possible, but it would not necessarily have the same destructive force as a tsunami.
