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).

Can a large ship ride over a seismic sea wave without anyone noticing it?
Yes
Seismic sea wave becomes more dangerous as it gets closer to shore and can be very destructive?
Tsunami
What are seismic waves also called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
What is a giant ocean wave caused by an earthquake or a severe storm called?
A Tsunami, or tidal wave, or seismic sea wave may be caused by an earthquake. It is incorrect to refer to giant ocean waves caused by severe storms as tsunamis. Severe storms may cause giant ocean waves referred to as "Rogue Waves" - which are distinct from and NOT the same as Tsunamis.
Seismic sea waves which approach tha coasts at greater force are known as?
These are known as tsunami.
What does seismic sea wave mean?
Its the same as a tsunami.
What is the definition of seismic wave?

Tsunami
What is an ocean wave caused by an undersea earthquake?
That would be tsunamis. Tsunami is the japanese name for tidal wave, which is what we call a wave of significant size and height above sea level. Depending on the size and depth of the quake (below the Earth's crust), any number of types (sizes) of waves could result.

What is known as a seismic sea wave?
A seismic sea wave is commonly known as a tsunami. It is a series of ocean waves generated by a sudden displacement of the ocean floor, typically caused by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Tsunamis can travel long distances across the ocean and cause widespread destruction when they reach land.
A portion of the ocean floor moves rapidly downward what type of wave would it produce?
Such a displacement of water could lead to a tsunami also known as a seismic sea wave.
What is a common name of a tsunami?
A common name for a tsunami is a "seismic sea wave."
What is the name of the highest sea wave?
The highest sea waves are tsunamis
What is the name of a swirling wave in the ocean?
