What happens to the energy from tsunami after that tsunami strikes land?
Rjkhemlani
The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.

Does a tsunami have a purpose?
A tsunami is a reaction to an under water earthquake, land slide or a meteor that struck the earth. It's the dispersion of energy.
What is the landform of a tsunami?
A "tsunami" is not a land form, it is a wave.
What is more dangerous an earthquake on land or a tsunami caused by an earthquake?
a tsunami
What happens during a tsunami?
A Tsunami is often caused by earthquakes under large bodies of water, but there are many causes (see the related questions for answers to what causes a tsunami). The force of the earthquake causes energy to surge in all directions through the water. When the energy comes close to land and the water becomes shallower, the energy, looking for a way to escape, forces the water upwards causing tsunami waves. All the energy pushes water inland for miles causing flooding and destruction. On the land, the Tsunami is like an oceanic flash flood. Water just keeps pushing inland until the tsunami subsides. Tsunami waves can destroy buildings and either push everything (and everyone) in their wake inland, or pull them far out into the sea. Most people caught in the worst of a tsunami usually drown (see the related questions for more about what happens in a tsunami and what tsunamis can cause). This natural phenomenon is also called "Runup and Inundation".
What is the effect on the land after a tsunami has ended?
bad

What do the underwater volcanoes do?
If you mean Tsunami, well the whole reason a tsunami happens is because of a earthquake , the tsunami reacts and gives out a earthquake in the sea, so the tsunami pushes the waves on land causing the area to be flouded
What happens to the ocean floor when it hits land?
dont know because never been in a tsunami

What is more dangerous an earthquake on land or a tsunami caused by an earthquake?
a tsunami
How does a tsunami affect the land?
A tsunami may affect the land by damaging plants, trees, buildings can break down and beaches.
Why does a tornado lose strength when it passes over land?
They don't. Hurricanes lose strength as they pass over land. This is because their gain their energy from the moisture that evaporates off warm ocean water. When a hurricane strikes land it is cut off from this energy source.
Do tsunami's always reach the land?
no
How does a Earthquake causes a Tsunami?
It shakes the land and moves all the water which causes a tsunami.
What animal has the best super senses?
Pretty much any animal can sense a natural disaster before it even happens. Say there's a tsunami coming to land in about 1 day, animals would start to go to high land such as big hills and mountains before the tsunami hits.
