Giant tidal waves caused by volcanic activity are known as tsunamis. They can occur when a volcanic eruption leads to the collapse of a volcanic island or the explosive eruption displaces a large volume of water. Additionally, underwater volcanic eruptions can generate tsunamis if they cause significant disturbances in the ocean. These tsunamis can travel across vast distances and cause devastating impacts on coastal areas.
