While some Rogue Waves are caused form high winds, most of the time tsunamis are caused from seismic activities such as volcano eruptions, land slides, tectonic plates sliding against each other, earth quakes. and in events of hurricanes the winds can cause huge 50 foot swells that could be classed as tsunamis.

Do tsunamis occur because of the strong winds from the ocean air?

No. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, when a large volume of water is displaced by an under sea landslide


How does wind speed affect tsunamis?

Wind speed itself does not directly affect tsunamis. Tsunamis are usually caused by underwater seismic activity, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, which generate large waves that can travel across the ocean. However, strong winds can potentially impact the propagation of tsunamis by influencing wave height or speed in coastal areas.

yes


What happens to the amplitude of a wave as strong winds blow it over the ocean's surface?

The amplitude is increased by strong surface winds.


What countries do tsunami's ocour?

Tsunamis can occur in any country that has a coastline. Some countries that are more prone to tsunamis due to their location on tectonic plate boundaries include Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the Philippines. However, tsunamis are not limited to these countries and can potentially affect any coastal region globally.


Why does it get so windy in a blizzard?

This is because blizzards only occur where there are strong winds. Therefore, when a blizzard occurs, there must be strong winds.

What waves cause damage to property?

Tsunamis, storm surges, and rogue waves are examples of waves that can cause damage to property. Tsunamis are large ocean waves typically caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, storm surges are abnormally high tides driven by strong winds during severe storms, and rogue waves are unexpectedly large and powerful waves that can occur even in seemingly calm conditions.
