Do you mean tidal waves? The tides are caused by the gravity of the moon pulling and "releasing" the ocean's water, tidal waves are the shockwaves from underground seismic activity which are driven upwards as they get closer to the coast by the increasingly shallow water.

Basically a big earth quake, but under water.
