A tsunami is a series of extremely long waves caused by a large and sudden shift of sea water, usually the result of an earthquake under or near the sea floor. The force creates waves that shine from their source in all directions and sometimes cross entire ocean basins, according to a description of the national oceanic and atmospheric administration.

In contrast to wind -driven waves, which only move through the top layer of the ocean, tsunamis move through the entire water column from the sea floor to the surface of the sea.
