Large waves produced by earthquakes is known as Tsunami.
Step-by-step explanation:
In an ocean or lakes, sometimes a series of large waves called tsunamis are formed which is caused to the displacement of large amount of water. The reason for these tsunamis are earthquakes and other factors like volcanic eruptions and other underwater triggers.
The earthquakes trigger the waves to rise to a large height and rush into inlands with intensity, which often causes large scale destruction. The earthquakes causes displacement in the plates of the earth which makes a large scale vibration which results in tsunamis.
