An undersea landslide, generally caused by a big earthquake along a continental slope, will often cause tsunamis.
Tsunamis used to be called "tidal waves", because they were enormous waves that came ashore gradually like the rising tide, rather than like a breaking wave. The terrifying thing about a tsunami is that first the ocean recedes far from shore, and then rolls back in, not really fast but relentlessly, and it KEEPS COMING IN.
