Answer 2

Tsunami

Explanation:

Tsunami is a Japanese word that means harbour wave. It is a series of tidal waves in a water body that are formed when large volume of water is displaced. Tsunami can be triggered by an earthquake, or volcanic eruptions, large detonations, meteorite impacts, landslides, glacier calvings, etc.

Tsunami waves have a distinctly longer wavelength than the normal undersea currents or sea waves. Tsunami may initially look like a rapidly rising tide.
