No. Tsunamis are not caused by wind. They are generally caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. Tornadoes have caused water levels to fluctuate while crossing small lakes, but this phenomenon is more similar to seiches than to tsunamis.

What would an E4 tornado equal in a hurricane?
There is no such thing as an E4 tornado. You most likely mean an EF4 tornado. The estimated winds for an EF4 tornado are 166-200 mph. That is equivalent to a category 5 hurricane (winds 156 mph or greater).
Are tsunamis more dangerous then tornado's?
i think a tsunami is more dangerous then a tornado because a tsunami is a seaquake that causes huge waves the waves are so big it could bring all the water to land the pressure of the water can destroy houses and bring people and things to sea theres no safety for tsunami.a tornado is a huge spriling wind that comes down from the sky sometimes tornadoes are called whirl winds it would be safer to have a tornado coming.
What are the wave height of a tornado?
There is none. Tornadoes are not waves, they are violent whirlwinds and they generally occur on land. When they do occur they do not produce much in the way of waves, as the winds of a tornado only cover a small area.
How big is an F2 tornado?
An F2 tornado does not have any particular size. That is not how the scale works; it rates tornadoes based on damage. An F2 tornado (EF2 as of February 2007) is a tornado that tears roofs from well-built homes, derails trains, and destroys trailers. Winds in an EF2 are estimated at 111 to 135 mph.
How fast are turrnados?
In terms of traveling speed tornadoes can be stationary or travel at over 70 mph. The average forwards speed is 35 mph. In terms of wind speed, winds in a tornado can travel at anywhere from 65 mph to over 300 mph. The average tornado probably has winds in the range of 80 to 90 mph. Tornadoes that cause the most serious damage have winds over 130 mph. Tornadoes with winds over 200 mph are very rare.
Can a tornado form a tsunami?
No Tsunamis are not formed by wind events
Can a tornado form at 10 miles an hour?
A slow-moving tornado tornado might travel at 10 mph, but a vortex with 10 mph winds would by no means be considered a tornado. The winds must be strong enough to produce damage.
Can a tornado form without a thunderstorm?
No, a tornado cannot form without a thunderstorm. A tornado needs the crossing winds of two air masses to provide rotation in order for a tornado to form. Tornadoes do not form from convection thunderstorms, but only from air mass thunderstorms.
What storm has very fast winds that form a funnel- shaped cloud?
A tornado
Winds in a tornado rotate in or out?
Winds in a tornado spiral inward and upward.
What are the forms of energy found in a tornado?
The energy in a tornado is kinetic energy, primarily in the form of very fast moving winds.
Will a tornado form with 10-20mph winds?
IN the Enhanced Fujita Scale The Lowest Wind speed to be a tornado is 65 mph
Are tsunamis occur due to strong winds from the ocean?
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.
Is a tornado a spiral in nature?
A tornado does not have a spiral shape or appearance (except in some cases where helical subvortices form), but the winds in and near a tornado move in a spiral fashion.
What causes tornado damage?
Tornado damaged is caused by a tornado's powerful winds and objects carried y those winds.
The strongest winds are on which side of a tornado?
As with hurricanes the strongest winds are generally on the right side of a tornado.
How strong can the winds in a tornado funnel reach?
On rare occasions winds in a tornado can get to a little over 300mph.
