What is the name given to a seismic sea wave?
The term "seismic sea wave" has been found in geological and oceanographic texts, and typically is another term for a tsunami. Earthquakes at underwater subduction zones (where one tectonic plate moves beneath another) are the leading cause of tsunamis. Not all tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, however; other causes may include underwater volcanos, landslides, and underwater explosions (such as nuclear devices).
