How dangerous are tsunamis?

Tsunamis are

No, generally not. If you are in the open sea and a tsunami passes you probably won't even notice it. It is not until tsunamis reach shallow water that they become dangerous.

because tsunamis have more force (power) than wind waves:)

When they strike a highly populated area.

It was not founded, i dont think. It is just a Huge trench in the ocean FORMED naturally. tsunamis are so poopy yeah bro

It really depends. And it is based on someones opinion. If its a really tiny tsunami some people may not think so. But a tsunamis caused by a landslide (which can be 1000ft tall) would be very dangerous to almost everyone.

Because they are massive waves which can blow you away

THEY ARE MOST DANGERUOS IN THE CHINA JAPAN AREA. THEY GET PUMLED THEIR.

Tsunamis are very dangerous they pull water from shore and grow in size, they can grow to a height of 1story or higher and they wash away cars, houses killing thousands of people.

Tsunamis present a number of dangerous. With the rapid inundation, people can easily drown or even be crushed by the sheer force of the wave or by debris carried in the water. When the wave washes back out, people may be carried out to sea with little chance of rescue.

yes, it causes earthquakes and sometimes tsunamis -novanet ooftroop

because they have bigger waves and more power or force:P

Yes, Tsunamis are created by seismic activity and there is some activity in the Atlantic, although much less than the Pacific Ocean. and this could mean danger to the lives near the Atlantic coasts ...because tsunamis are dangerous...

Tsunamis in the open ocean are not dangerous at all; they aren't even noticeable. In deep ocean water a tsunamis is only a few feet to a few inches high and dozens of miles long. It is only when a tsunami reaches shallow water that it gains height.

Hmm lets see..They shake the earth so buildings or anything inside them can fall, and possibly crush you. Can also cause Tsunamis. Very dangerous.

Actually it is Jai Alai the most dangerous sport in the worl also BASE jumping is also one. extreme surfing is the most dangerous you are surfing tsunamis

the reason it is so dangerous is because it's on the edge of the indo-australina tectonic plate and which collides with the eurasian plate which causes volcanoes, and earthquakes which can also cause tsunamis

It can help us to prepare for earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides. And also help predict dangerous volcanic eruptions.

It depends on how you look at it. Aside from natural disasters like hurricanes tornadoes and tsunamis, the most dangerous weather would be lightning. Worldwide, floods kill more people than other natural disasters.

many dormant and some active volcanoes; about 1,500 seismic occurrences (mostly tremors) every year; tsunamis; typhoons

Volcanoes release lava, ash and poisonous clouds. Earthquakes produce shock waves and cause buildings to collapse and tsunamis to occur.

You are safer in the middle of the ocean, where a tsunamis is barely even noticeable. It only becomes dangerous when it enters shallow water.

Tsunamis are not just large ocean waves. Unlike a regular wave, which washes in and out in a few seconds, a tsunami wave is a surge of water that keeps coming in for as much as 15 minutes. People caught in the wave can be swept away and drowned or pummeled by debris. Large tsunamis can go miles inland and destroy homes, buildings, and entire towns. Even a relatively small tsunami can cause serious damage.

Lava flows Pyroclastic flows (and surges) Ash (tephra) Lahars Gas emissions Landslides and debris avalanches Volcanic earthquakes Tsunamis

Well there are two common things in japan 1 . there are lots of earthquakes , they are one of the most dangerous ones . 2 . there are lots of tsunamis in japan as well .

are there tsunamis in greece

Tsunamis cannot be prevented.

An earthquake could shake apart buildings, bridges, power cables, or gas lines, any one of which could led to further unsafe and dangerous situations. Besides fires and tsunamis, there could also be the potential of more earthquakes. Earthquakes are sometimes followed by a number of aftershocks.

Well tsunamis are an underwater earthquake, and if earthquakes are sort of rare tsunamis are rare. So yes.

Head out to sea. Tsunamis are rather strange in that the waves are generally only dangerous when they enter the shallow water near the shore. In deep open water they are barely noticeable.

people dont enjoy going to DANGEROUS PLACES. like libya in 2011 (now). or japan after earthquakes and tsunamis. THERE R STILL LIKE AFTERSHOCKS GOING ON!! These are the places!!

Tsunamis consist of more than one wave. This being the case, tsunamis can last for many hours. Sometimes, large tsunamis can last for days.

Thailand has radars to detect tsunamis

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to prevent tsunamis.

Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.

Yes, of course, India can have tsunamis.

the tsunamis can carry jellyfish along

No, tsunamis cannot be prevented, but they can be avoided.

tsunamis are cool

Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes

Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions

Wind does not affect tsunamis.

Tsunamis usually happened in areas that are close to the oceans. Islands like Japan tend to be susceptible to Tsunamis.

Tsunamis are caused by the sudden movement in water by tectonic plates. Tsunamis are a result of Earthquakes.

Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.

Tsunamis are typically caused by earthquakes, especially those in which plates slide under or over each other. The stronger the quake on the Richter scale, the more likely the tsunami will be a large and dangerous event. These can happen any time of the year. Most areas of the tropics have a tropical cyclone season. These storms can also produce high storm surges and waves. Usually the warnings issued are for the storm itself as…

The shake in the water vibrate and collapes together to become a tsunamis This is true Go in the middle of the ocean when a tsunamis comes and it is safe Look it up at www.youtube/videos/tsunamis/.com

Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes in the sea. As earthquakes can happen at anytime tsunamis can happen at any time.

Tsunamis can happen anywhere there is deep water and an earthquake. The majority of tsunamis occur in the Pacific Rim.

A tsunami can affect the land from the salt that would kill the organisms, destroy things that are built on the land and ruin the vegetation and plants for the future. Tsunamis are very dangerous and devastating natural disasters.
