2. Tsunami A tsunami from  Japanese harbor wave is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a  large lake .  Earthquakes ,  volcanic eruptions  and other  underwater explosions  (including detonations, landslides, glacier calving ,  meteorite impacts  and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal  ocean waves, which are generated by wind , or  tides , which are generated by the gravitational pull of the  Moon  and the  Sun , a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water by a large event. Tsunamis are high energy waves in the oceans generated by high magnitude earthquakes in ocean floors exceeding 7.5 on Richter scale
