A tidal wave, often referred to as a tsunami, is typically caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When these events displace a large volume of water, it generates powerful waves that can travel across oceans at high speeds. As the waves approach shallower coastal areas, they increase in height and can cause significant destruction upon reaching land. Unlike regular tides caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, tidal waves are sudden and can occur without warning.
