Do you mean tidal waves? The tides are caused by the gravity of the moon pulling and "releasing" the ocean's water, tidal waves are the shockwaves from underground seismic activity which are driven upwards as they get closer to the coast by the increasingly shallow water.
Basically a big earth quake, but under water.

∙ 14y agoThere are no tides in rivers, or in lakes. Tidal effects only show up in LARGE (ocean-sized) bodies of water, or seas and bays connected to them.
The only effect you might ever notice would be at the mouth of a river that flows into the ocean; in that case, rising tides can cause backflows that push salt water into the mouth of a river.

How does the moon create waves?
The Gravity field between Earth and the Moon effects the waves and causes high tides and sometimes pushes the waves
What causes the highest tides?
New Moon causes the highest tides, as then the gravity effect of both Sun and Moon add together to attract the oceanic water. Full Moons cause the next highest tides.
What has the moon got to do with the tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon causes the tides to rise on the parts of the Earth closest to it.
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
What causes the Moon's high tides?
Aint no waves on the moon
When do extreme tides occur?
The moon control's the tides
What is a spring and neat tide?
Spring Tides Are Extreme Tides And Neap Tides Are Weaker Tides.
What are tides that cause flooding called?
In some areas, there is something known as "extreme tides"or "spring tides" where the low tides are really low and the high tides are really high. In some areas, these spring tides can be so extreme that the tide difference is several feet. When the high tide comes in from these extreme spring tides, they quickly come in, at several meters per sec, and flood the entire beach area. Tourists that come to places like these are usually unaware of the dangers associated with extreme spring tides and drown when they are on the beach when the tide comes in. Signs are posted at these beaches to warn visitors of these dangerous extreme spring tides.
What are the less extreme tides the occur twice each month?
They are called neap tides.
What causes daily tides?
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.
What causes the tides and how tides affect the earth?
The moon They dont
Who causes the tides?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.
What causes the tides the rise and fall of sea water everyday?
The gravitational attraction from the Moon and Sun, causes the tides.
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull do to the tides on earth?
It causes the tides (together with the sun).
What are tides in the science form?
The moon's gravitational pull on the earth is what causes tides.
What are the effects of high tides and low tides to the fisher folks?
it causes tsunami
