Earthquakes that originate beneath the ocean floor produce huge tidal waves called what?
Tsunami is the name of the wave (once known as a tidal wave) that is created by the sudden displacement of a large volume of sea water when an earthquake occurs on the sea floor. As the wave radiate outwards, it can often pass unnoticed by a nearby ship. When the wave reaches a shallow shore, the top of the wave continues at the same speed, while the bottom of the wave is slowed down by friction with the shallow sea floor. This causes the top to grow into a high wave that flows far into land. Damage and loss of life occur as the wave travels inland, picking up debris, then, as the wave retreats, the debris cause further damage as the wave retreats. There is often the case that a further wave(s) may still happen.
