A tsunami is a HUGE wave created by a huge movement of the earth. Normal waves are small and cannot go further than 1 mile, while tsunamies can traverse the entire Earth more than one time. Usually, normal tidal waves are created by wind , sea currents and human development, while tsunamies are made by earthquakes, tectonical movements and, in very rare cases, the impact with a meteorite ( like the theory of the dinosaurs` death)
