The splash / spray zone, which is the uppermost region of the tidepool, is seldom covered by the ocean. It gets moisture from wave splash, spray and rain.

What are giant tidal waves called?

i would say earthquakes but there are more reasons edit: Tidal waves are the byproduct of undersea plate tectonics. Subduction zones create large amounts of friction which then in turn create seismic waves which are transferred in to the surrounding sea water and take the form of fast moving waves in the open ocean. When the water becomes more shallow is when you see the classic images of a tsunami or tidal wave.
