What Makes a ‘Tsunami’ Different from a Regular Wave?

Tsunamis are like a giant, fast-moving wave that comes from an underwater earthquake or volcano. Regular waves are tiny ripples on the ocean's surface caused by wind. Think of it like this: regular waves are like a kid splashing in a pool, not too big or strong. A tsunami is more like a freight train crashing into the sea, fast, powerful, and hard to stop!
