Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tsunamis are a result of seismic activity, typically from earthquakes that occur under the ocean. While they are often referred to as tidal waves, this is not accurate as they are not caused by tidal forces. The term "energy waves" could also be used to describe tsunamis, but seismic sea waves is the most accurate and commonly used terminology. "Mega waves" is not a commonly used term for tsunamis.
