Tsunami are sometimes referred to as tidal waves or water avalanches. In recent years, this term has fallen out of favor, especially in the scientific community, because tsunami actually have nothing to do with tides. The once-popular term derives from their most common appearance, which is that of an extraordinarily high tide bore.
