Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tsunami waves result from earthquake displacement of the seafloor. This can cause a massive displacement of water which then creates waves that can travel across entire ocean basins. Tidal conditions and periodic floods are unrelated to tsunamis. There is no such thing as high storm winds called "tsunamis."
