The largest waves are called tsunamis. They were once called tidal waves, but scientists learned that most of them are caused by underwater earthquakes instead of by tides, so we now use the Japanese name tsunami. A tsunami can be hundreds of feet high!
A big wave is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are usually caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace large volumes of water, resulting in a massive wave that can cause widespread destruction when it reaches the shore.
They are called Tsunami's, with wave heights up to a few hundred feet tall, tallest ever recorded.
