a tsunami
A sea wave created when a seafloor slips after an underwater earthquake is called a tsunami. Tsunamis can travel across the ocean, carrying a large amount of energy and causing significant damage when they reach the coast. They are characterized by their long wavelengths and high speed.
They don't form anything, when they meet they simply apply stress and strain upon each other until it becomes to stressful on them and one slips over or under the other and causes an earthquake.
A tsunami begins with an earthquake somewhere off of the coast of an area. The energy from the earthquake creates massive waves, which travel, then eventually hit the coastline, sometimes causing mass destruction and death.
Earthquakes occur when the crust slips. The other events and processes are unrelated.
Most tsunamis are generated from earthquakes at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slide under another. During an earthquake at such a location, the subducting plate slips forward and part of it is thrust upwards, displacing the column of water above it. This displacement of water is what becomes the tsunami.

This is known as a tsunami.
Its called a Tsunami, Japan just had one and was devastated!

Tsunami, also called Kamikazis
The succession of waves is called a tsunami.
When the Spirit Slips Away was created in 1990.
Time Slips Away was created in 2005.

This happens at divergent boundaries where the plates move away from each other. Magma slips up here and forms new crust.
No, earthquakes are caused by the movement of the different plates of the earth. When one of the plates slips under the other, over the other, or into each other it creates an earthquake.
Seismologists use seismograms to calculate when an earthquake started. AND EARTHQUAKES START WHEN ROCK SLIPS SUDDENLY ENOUGH ALONG A FAULT TO CREATE SEISMIC WAVES!
