Not directly. Tsunamis are produced by seismic movements at the bottom of the sea, therefore are produced geologically and not meteorologically.
However, global warming may increase the chances for tsunamis and other natural disasters. An increase in tsunamis may happen due to the fact that changes in the temperature of the oceans may affect streams and underwater geophysical masses producing environmental conditions that, although unlikely, might precipitate seismic movements at a given place.
While "tsunami" is the preferred word for large wave, as opposed to "tidal wave" which has nothing to do with tides, you may hear reporters or news broadcasaters refer to a meteorologically driven rogue wave as a tsunami. We don't have a better word to distinguish between these events.
Global warming does not cause tsunamis.
Tidal waves (tsunami, in Japanese) are produced from cataclysmic events like underwater earth quakes or volcanoes. It is not yet known how a much slower process, global warming, affects things like volcanoes and earthquakes.
Speculations abound, but they contradict in too many places.
A:As the Earth warms up, it warms everything on the surface and in the water. When the rocks and etcetera warm up, they expand and sometimes start to move. And since tsunamis are caused most of the time by Earthquakes, they come. (This has been extremely simplified and may not be total accurate for this reason.)No, tsunamis are usually caused by earthquakes underwater. The earthquake sends a massive wave.
If the earth's plates in the crust move under the ocean, it can cause a TSUNAMI!
they can cause floods because they are huge waves and if they hit shore...
BOOM! that tsunami can cause a lot of damage.
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
Floods are almost always the number one disaster. They also cause a lot of damage to buildings.
No, it would not. However, cutting trees causes global warming. Global warming causes the polar ice caps to melt. When the ice caps melt, the sea level would rise. If the sea level rises, floods would occur. However, floods are not tsunamis, but tsunami causes floods. Therefore, we can conclude that cutting of trees will cause floods, which are about the same effects of a tsunami.
Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides and wildfires are different types of natural disasters.
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
Of course! Tsunamis could cause floods (which is considered as a natural disaster).

Tsunamis, floods and earthquakes
Tsunamis, floods, and hurricanes.
Tsunamis can cause destruction of human life & other life forms near the sea coast. It can cause floods in inland rivers & land to destroy property,fields,harvests,trees,cattle & other life.It can wash away large tracts of land.
it could cause erosion to things around it and the floods could create tsunamis.
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
They cause tsunamis
Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides and wildfires are different types of natural disasters.
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
