| Another rare event that may result from a tsunami is a standing wave or seiche. |
| A seiche occurs in bodies of water that are partially or completely enclosed, such as Hilo Bay, creating a standing wave that continually sloshes back and forth. |
| Another type of water wave, a seiche, is generated in an enclosed body of water such as a lake. |
| Following initiation of the seiche, the water sloshes back and forth until the oscillation is damped out by friction. |
| The Vilaine receives the Meu and the seiche, which are both navigable. |
| Notwithstanding the strange, not to say grotesque, appearance of its beak, the seiche is decidedly an interesting creature. |
