Result of an underwater quake (7)

I believe the answer is:

tsunami

(Other definitions for tsunami that I've seen before include "Long sea wave" , "Huge tidal wave that causes great damage and loss of life" , "Seismic sea wave" , "Huge destructive sea wave" , "Huge wave caused by earth tremor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
