No, a storm surge is a rise in the ocean level produced by the intense low pressure of a strong storm such as a hurricane.

A tsunami is a large wave or series of large waves usually produced by an undersea earthquake or landslide.

What can cause water to surge?

Water can surge due to various factors, including tidal forces, storm surges from hurricanes or severe storms, and seismic activity such as underwater earthquakes leading to tsunamis. Additionally, heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt can cause rivers to overflow, resulting in surges. Human activities like dam failures or the sudden release of water from reservoirs can also contribute to sudden water surges.


Do hurricanes cause damage by storm surges?
