Tsunamis are ocean waves produced by earthquakes or underwater landslides. Tsunamis are distinguished from normal coastal surf by their great length, width and speed. A single wave in a tsunami series might be 100 miles long and race across the ocean at 600 mph.
When it approaches a coastline, the wave slows down. But, it also rises to great heights and form walls because the enormous volume of water piles up in shallow coastal bays. Unlike ordinary waves tsunamis do not break on the coastline every few seconds. Because of their size, it might take an hour for another one to arrive.

Answer: Tsunami occurs due to large ocean waves that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. This sudden motion could be an earthquake or an under water land-slide.
Explanation: Tsunami travells across the open ocean at a great speed and builds into large deadly waves in the shallow water of a shoreline creating a huge wall of water
