Tsunamis are generated by large underwater (usually) earthquakes. These send out much energy in very long wavelengths in ocean water. When the tsunami approaches the shore, the shallowing of the sea bottom interacts with the waveform sometimes translating it to very tall heights which disastrously crash on the shore.
