HI

HERE IS THE ANSWER IS TEETH

Explanation:

THE JAPANESE WORD TSUNAMI MEANS HARBOUR WAVE. IT IS A SERIES OF WATER WAVES CAUSED BY THE DISPLACEMENT OF A LARGE VOLUME OF BODY OF WATER, USUALLY AN OCEAN, THOUGH IT CAN OCCUR IN LARGE LAKES.TSUNAMIS ARE CAUSED BY UNDERSEA LANDSLIDES OR BY 'SEAQUAKES', THAT IS AN EARTHQUAKE WHO'S EPICENTER LIES BELOW THE OCEAN. IS THE SEA BED IS DISPLACED UP TO SEVERAL METRES, THE WATER LAYER OF SEVERAL KILOMETRES IN THICKNESS ABOVE IT ALSO MOVES WITH IT. THE THE WAVE CAUSED BY THIS MOVEMENT HAS A LOT OF ENERGY-MUCH MORE THAN A WAVE OF THE SAME HEIGHT WHIPPED UP BY THE WIND. THIS BECOMES APPARENT WHEN THE WAVE MOVES TOWARDS THE COAST.

Answer:

a long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance.

A tsunami 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 above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
