How do tidal waves form and what factors contribute to their creation?

Tidal waves, also known as tsunamis, are caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace a large amount of water. The force of these events creates powerful waves that travel across the ocean. Factors that contribute to the formation of tidal waves include the magnitude and location of the initial disturbance, the depth of the water, and the shape of the coastline that the waves encounter.
