What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
Seismic waves are vibrations caused by the movement of the Earth's crust during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of ocean waves triggered by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves travel through the Earth, while tsunamis primarily move across the ocean surface.
What is the difference between seismic wave and tsunami?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of large ocean waves caused by displacement of water, often triggered by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves originate within the Earth, while tsunamis occur on the ocean's surface.
What kind of a wave is caused by an seismic activity?
Seismic activity generates seismic waves. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface (Love waves and Rayleigh waves).
What is the difference between seismograph and tsunami?
A seismograph is an instrument used to measure seismic waves in the earth's crust. In other words a seismograph detects earthquakes. A tsunami occurs when there is an earthquake at sea. The earthquake causes colossal tidal waves to form and the waves crash onto shore. This is a tsunami.
Did quake and tsunami happen simultaneously?
No, an example of this is japan when the earthquake occurred in the middle of the ocean this sent tremors through the earth which caused waves to be sent out from the point of the quake, a tsunami is when the huge waves hit land, when these waves hit japan it was a tsunami
What natural occurrence is most similar to a tsunami?
Tidal waves and seismic sea waves were used earlier for the same thing as a tsunami.
What are seismic waves called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
What are seismic waves also called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?

Seismic waves travel through the Earth, while tsunamis primarily move across the ocean surface.
What are seismic waves and what information information do they give about earthquakes?
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
Why don't we call tsunamis ''seismic waves''?
Because a seismic wave is something else. Seismic waves are waves sent through the earth as part of the earthquake itself. A tsunami is an ocean wave generated by water being displaced.
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
What is the difference between seismic wave and tsunami?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of large ocean waves caused by displacement of water, often triggered by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves originate within the Earth, while tsunamis occur on the ocean's surface.
What does seismic sea wave mean?
Its the same as a tsunami.
Are shear waves and seismic waves the same?
A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.
What kind of a wave is caused by an seismic activity?
Seismic activity generates seismic waves. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface (Love waves and Rayleigh waves).
