Is it true that tsunamis are ocean waves caused by wind blowing over the sea?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that tsunamis are generated by displacement of water from earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and similar events, explicitly distinguishing them from wind-generated ocean waves.
