definition: TSUNAMIS (SOMETIMES CALLED seismic sea waves) are large sea waves that are created by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or even nonseis-mic events such as landslides and meteorite impacts. Tsunamis are also known as tidal waves, even though this is a misnomer because the waves have nothing to do with tides. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Climate Change; Tsunamis]
