No. Hurricanes produce large waves, but these are not tsunamis. Tsunamis are the result of the movement of the ground underwater, such as with and earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption and have completely different dynamics from storm driven waves.
No. Hurricanes and tsunamis are two completely different things.
A hurricane is a type of powerful storm that forms over tropical ocean water, and produces heavy rain, sustained winds of at least 74 mph, large waves, and a wind-driven storm surge.
A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves usually triggered by an undersea earthquake or landslide. Tsunami waves are very different from wind-driven waves such as those found in hurricanes. A tsunami wave has a much longer wavelength than a wind driven wave, and so will carry much more water, and carry much more force.
By comparison with a tsunami, a storm surge is vastly more predictable because the calculations are based on wind speed and the internal pressure of the cyclone. But both present a threat of coastal inundation over a wide area.
No. Hurricanes can create a storm surge which resembles a tsunami in some ways, but a tsunami is triggered by underwater disturbances that are not related to weather.
no. cyclones can not cause tsunami as it comes only on surface and not below the earth surface. It does not disturb the tectonic plates
No. Hurricanes can cause large-wind driven waves, but do not cause tsunamis.
No. While hurricanes produce large waves they do not produce tsunamis. Tsunamis are triggered by underwater earthquakes or landslides.
Hurricane Katrina stuck at the end of August 2005. The Boxing Day tsunami was on December 26, 2004.
A hurricane lasts longer. A tsunami can cross the entire Pacific Ocean in about a day. After all portions of a tsunami have hit land it will have largely dissipated. By contrast, a hurricane moves much slower over the ocean and can easily last for over a week.
Hurricane Katrina killed 1,833 people. The Boxing Day tsunami killed at least 230,000 people.
Recent natural disasters: Hurricane Katrina, Tsunami in Indonesia, Earthquakes in Haiti and Chile.
No. Hurricanes generate large waves, but tsunamis are a completely different matter.
No. A hurricane on water is simply a hurricane. Tsunami is a large wave triggered by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake. A hurricane is a type of storm.
Tsunami
They are about the same, but if I had to say: Tsunami.
The Hurricane is made of high-quality stress-free glass but is much more expensive. The Tsunami is made of German shott glass, which according to the Tsunami pamphlets is 'unbreakable' When compared to the hurricane the tsunami glass is superior.
All of these are bad, but a tsunami is not weather.
no, a tsunami is caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water.
Hurricane Katrina stuck at the end of August 2005. The Boxing Day tsunami was on December 26, 2004.
It wasn't all that close. The tsunami struck on December 26, 2004, about 8 months before Hurricane Katrina.

No, hurricanes and actual tsunamis are not related.
