The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.

In the open ocean the wave height of a tsunami is what?

In the open ocean, the wave height of a tsunami is typically low, often less than a meter, making it difficult to detect. However, the wavelength is extremely long, sometimes hundreds of kilometers. As the tsunami approaches shallower coastal waters, its speed decreases, and the wave height increases dramatically, leading to potentially devastating impacts when it reaches land.
