It is movement of land beneath the sea, often it is a land slide that displaces water and produces the wave.

How does a seismic wave relate to an earthquake?

A seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through the Earth after an earthquake occurs. These waves are responsible for the shaking and vibrations felt during an earthquake. Scientists use the study of seismic waves to understand the properties of the Earth's interior and to locate the epicenter of an earthquake.

Two or more waves combining to produce a wave with a smaller displacement is called?

Destructive interference. This phenomenon occurs when the peaks of one wave align with the troughs of another wave, resulting in a wave with reduced amplitude.
