How are tsunamis and hurricanes related?

Answer 1

A tsunami is a tidal wave, caused by an earthquake under the sea. The shock waves spread out in a huge circle from the epicenter and roll up on the beaches as they did in Thailand and Sri Lanka and many other places recently. You can have a tsunami with blue sky and sunny weather.

A hurricane is a tropical rotating rainstorm that develops round an area of very low pressure. The winds swirl round and round, pulling energy from the warm water below. They only develop in the tropics. If they hit land the results can be devastating, as in New Orleans.

Answer 2

Hurricanes and tsunamis are two very different things. Both are natural disasters that originate in the ocean and cause most of their damage to coastal areas. Both release large amounts of energy and can send large amounts of water onto land.

A hurricane is a kind of storm, defined as being tropical in origin and producing sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricanes are formed from storm systems that strengthen and organize over warm ocean water. Hurricane winds, in addition to causing direct damage, can push ocean water onto land, forming what is called a storm surge. Hurricanes also produce damage through large waves, flooding by rain, and the formation of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Storm driven waves such as those found in hurricanes are more of a hazard to boats at sea than to land as they do not carry much water. Because they form and travel relatively slowly, there are usually a few days worth of warning before

A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves usually triggered by an undersea earthquake or landslide. They have nothing to do with weather. They are fundamentally different from storm driven waves such as those found in hurricanes. At sea they are short and hardly noticeable, but can be hundreds of miles long. Unlike ordinary storm driven waves, which wash in and out in a few seconds, a tsunami wave can keep coming in for several minutes. A tsunamis develops and travels very rapidly and can cross a large ocean basin in a matter of hours, leaving little time to evacuate. When they form near shore the warning may only be a few minutes.
Both can cause massive flooding. The similarity ends there however.

Hurricanes are an atmospheric phenomena while tsrunamis are the result of sub-oceanic earthquakes.

Answer 3

Hurricanes and tsunamis can both produce coastal flooding but are otherwise not related. Although hurricanes create larges waves and a storm surge through a combination of wind and low barometric pressure, neither of these storm-produced phenomena are considered tsunamis or tidal waves.

Answer 4

A tsunami is a large wave or series of waves usually triggered by an underwater earthquake or landslide. Tsunamis arise from geologic forces and are not weather-related.

A hurricane is a very large and powerful storm that forms over warm ocean water. More specifically a hurricane is a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 74 mph (119 km/h) or greater.

Answer 5

Huracaine is a cyclic movement of the air caused by a depression in the atmosphere, usually it picks up speed on water and slows down as it gets inland. A tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an earth quake. Usually the epicenter of the earth quake is in the middle of the ocean, but there have been cases where the epicenter was along the coast and it still caused giant waves to come crashing.

Answer 6

Not at all. A tsunami is a strange wave in the ocean, a hurricane is a big storm.

Answer 7

Both hurricanes and tsunamis are natural disasters that primarily impact coastal areas and can cause severe coastal flooding.

Answer 8

Yes. A hurricane is a violent type of storm that forms over tropical ocean water. A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves usually cause by an undersea earthquake or landslide.
