The correct description of the waves formed by tsunamis is: **They cause small waves in the open ocean, but large ones near the shore.**
In the open ocean, tsunami waves typically have long wavelengths and can go unnoticed by ships, appearing as small waves. As they approach the shallow waters near the shore, their speed decreases and their height increases, resulting in large, destructive waves.
