Editing Tsunami (section)

===Other terms===
The use of the term ''tsunami'' for waves created by landslides entering bodies of water has become internationally widespread in both scientific and popular literature, although such waves are distinct in origin from large waves generated by earthquakes. This distinction sometimes leads to the use of other terms for landslide-generated waves, including '''''landslide-triggered tsunami''''', '''''displacement wave''''', '''''non-seismic wave''''', '''''impact wave''''', and, simply, '''''giant wave'''''.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Svennevig|first1=Kristian|last2=Hermanns|first2=Reginald L.|last3=Keiding|first3=Marie|last4=Binder|first4=Daniel|last5=Citterio|first5=Michelle|last6=Dahl-Jensen|first6=Trine|last7=Mertl|first7=Stefan|last8=Sørensen|first8=Erik Vest|last9=Voss|first9=Peter H.|date=23 July 2022|title=A large frozen debris avalanche entraining warming permafrost ground—the June 2021 Assapaat landslide, West Greenland|journal=Landslides|volume=19|issue=11|pages=2549–2567|publisher=Springer Link|doi=10.1007/s10346-022-01922-7|bibcode=2022Lands..19.2549S|doi-access=free|issn=1612-510X}}</ref>

A tsunami which cannot be linked to an earthquake is sometimes termed an "orphan tsunami". This may happen in the case of tsunamis caused in the distant past, before international communications, by earthquakes far away, such as a tsunami in Japan caused by an earthquake in the Americas.<ref>{{citation | last1=Atwater | first1=Brian F. | last2=Musumi-Rokkaku | first2=Satoko | last3=Satake | first3=Kenji | last4=Tsuji | first4=Yoshinobu | last5=Ueda | first5=Kazue | last6=Yamaguchi | first6=David K. | title=The orphan tsunami of 1700—Japanese clues to a parent earthquake in North America | publisher=US Geological Survey | year=2005 | issn=2330-7102 | doi=10.3133/pp1707 | doi-access=free | url=https://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/pp1707/pp1707_miho.pdf}}</ref>
