A surge of water is commonly referred to as a "tsunami" when it is a large, powerful wave caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. In other contexts, a sudden increase in water flow can be called a "flood surge" or "flash flood." Additionally, in coastal regions, a "storm surge" refers to the abnormal rise in sea level due to storm winds and atmospheric pressure changes.
