When waves crash, onshore they can make a significant impact on the landscape by shifting entire islands of sand and carving out rocky coastlines. Storm waves can even move boulders the size of cars above the high tide line, leaving massive boulder hundreds of feet inland. Wind is not the only cause of wild waves even tsunami does. A tsunami is a wave created by a disturbance that displaces a large amount of water, like an earthquake or a landslide, and they often occur in clusters or sets.
