3. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. ... Other hazardous waves can be caused by underwater disturbances that displace large amounts of water quickly such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. These very long waves are called tsunamis
4. A tsunami warning is issued when authorities are certain that a tsunami threat exists, and there may be little time to get out
