TsunamiA series of long-period waves (on the order of tens of minutes) that are usually generated by an impulsive disturbance that displaces massive amounts of water, such as an earthquake occurring on or near the sea floor.
TSUNAMI An ocean wave with a long period that is formed by an underwater earthquake or landslide, or volcanic eruption.
TSUNAMI: An ocean wave generated by a submarine earthquake, volcano or landslide. (Also known as a seismic sea wave, and incorrectly as a tidal wave).
Tsunami An ocean wave produced by a sub-marine earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. These waves may reach enormous dimensions and have sufficient energy to travel across entire oceans.

Most recorders are designed for recording wind waves, that is waves of periods up to about 25 seconds, but some are designed to record waves of longer periods such as tsunamis or tides. Wave staff Same as wave pole.
In Michael Crichton's "State of Fear," eco-terrorists plan to create a tsunami, calve an iceberg, and induce flash-flooding and hurricanes.
