The correct description of the waves formed by tsunamis is:
1. They cause small waves in the open ocean, but large ones near shore.
In the open ocean, tsunamis typically have long wavelengths and may not be very noticeable, often only causing small changes in sea level. However, as they approach the shore, they slow down and their wave height increases significantly, leading to large and destructive waves.
