What is another word for wall of water?
Pronunciation: [wˈɔːl ɒv wˈɔːtə] (IPA) 
"Wall of water" is a popular term used to describe a wave that stands tall and appears like a barrier of water. Synonyms for the phrase include "tidal wave", "tsunami", "seismic wave", "storm surge", and "flood wave". Tidal waves are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, while tsunamis are triggered by underwater earthquakes or volcanoes. A seismic wave is any wave that moves through the ground, including those generated by earthquakes. A storm surge, on the other hand, is a rise in sea level that occurs during a tropical storm or hurricane. A flood wave is caused by excessive rainfall or breaks in water systems. Each term refers to the same occurrence of a massive surge of water that can be dangerous and destructive.
