Tidal wave

From Freepedia

The term tidal wave can refer to:

  • A tsunami. Tidal wave is a common name for the occurence, however this traditional usage is considered incorrect by oceanographers and other scientists since no tides are involved. Although the term "tidal wave" was formerly more popular with the general public, news media reporting of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake used the term "tsunami" almost exclusively, as a result of which "tsunami" is now much better known than it was before.
