Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth

tsunami is an ocean wave triggered by large earthquakes that occur near or under the ocean, volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides, or by onshore landslides in which large volumes of debris fall into the water.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Tsunamis are massive waves, and tidal waves are just, well, waves! Like the ones we see when we go to the beach.
