agree  BUZOV: Ako je ma moru (PLIMNI VAL) TIDE WAVE ili TSUNAMI (japanski termin preuzet širom svijeta). Ako je na rijeci ili iza jezera (rušenje ustave) (VODENI VAL) FLOOD WAVE

  -> Mislila sam baš na jedan takav "val" jer je plimni val destruktivna sila, a obično gibanje vode se naziva samo "val" odnosno plima i oseka ako se radi o svakodnevnom uzdizanju i spuštanju morske razine. Ispravite me ako griješim.

disagree  Maynard Hogg: If you're refering to "seismic sea waves" from Sumatra, the scientific term is "tsunami" in English because there's nothing "tidal" about them.

ispričavam se zbog ne razdvajanja riječi. radi se o tide wave. evo i definicije po websteru:

TIDE WAVE
1. The swell of water as the tide moves. That of the ocean is called primitive; that of bays or channels derivative. --Whewell.
