Answer: A tsunami is a giant wave (or series of waves) created by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption or landslide. Tsunamis are often called tidal waves, but this is not an accurate description because tides have little effect on giant tsunami waves.
Xyy redirects here. For the CIE XyY colour model, see XyY. XYY syndrome is a genetic condition in which a human male has an extra male (Y) chromosome, giving a total of 47 chromosomes instead of the more usual 46. This produces a 47,XYY karyotype, which occurs every 1 in 1,000 male births.or the CIE XyY colour model, see XyY.

Many, if not most, are unaware that they have a chromosomal abnormality. The frequency of XYY syndrome is not certain due to statistical differences between different studies of this condition. It may be as common as 1 in 900 male births to as rare as 1 in 1,500 or even 1 in 2,000.
