The word tsunami is Japanese and if you translate it to English it means Harbour waves. (tsu- harbour) (nami- wave) A tsunami is a large wave of water that has displaced suddenly. A tsunami is a series of waves with long wavelengths, not a massive wave. A tsunami is usually related to earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions. A tsunami has nothing to do with the tide and the wave cycle.
A tsunami is caused by a sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact on the ocean. A landslide can cause an earthquake and vice versa.
