- shallow-water wave
- produced by earthquakes
- produced by landslides
- produced by strong winds
- considered a rogue (episodic) wave
- considered a standing wave
- considered a progressive wave
What’s the average height of a tsunami in the open ocean?
Are tsunami dangerous in the open sea? What happens when they reach shore?
