no it is caused by earthquakes
Tsunamis or tidal waves.
Tsunamis are not called Tidal waves anymore, as tsunamis are not affected by the tides. Tides do not affect how strong or tall the tsunamis are and that is why tsunamis are not commonly called tidal waves anymore because the word 'tidal' is misleading.
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Tsunamis are caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, while tidal waves are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Tsunamis have longer wavelengths and travel faster than tidal waves. Additionally, tsunamis can be much more destructive due to their energy and force.
A tsunami is a wave that is usally caused by either an undersea earthquake or by a land slip into the sea. Tsunamis were once called tidal waves.
The term "tidal wave" is a misnomer because tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides; they are usually caused by earthquakes.
Tsunamis are giant tidal waves.
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
dey aint
Some people call tsunamis tidal waves but the word tsunami means "harbor wave" (tsu=harbor, nami=wave) so tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides.
There is not any difference between tidal waves and tsunamis, except for that cyclones are high waves accompanied with heavy rain wheras tsunamis are only waves.
