When a tsunami hits land, the force is broken. The land is like mud. When your are the tsunami. There is a big area of mud. You are running full speed at it until you get in. Then he mud slows you down. You don't stop but you lose force. Then you go farther in the mud slowing you down more until you sop. Your speed is out and you walk which is like being a normal wave.

Is a tsunami a constructive force?
Tsunamis cause devastation and death. They are not constructive forces.
Why do tsunamis only occur in certain areas?
Tectonic plate activity is more common in some places than others. When this plates collide, the resulting force moves the water in the ocean. The force is so powerful it creates massive waves called Tsunamis.
The cause of normal waves but not tsunamis?
the normal waves are produced due to the attractional or gravitational force between the earth and the moon but the tsunamis are caused due to the movement of the tectonic plates undet the ocean.
What are the effects of tsunami to people?
Tsunamis can cause humans to lose access to fresh water and food. This can lead to dehydration, sickness, and starvation.
How do tsunamis get so powerful?
They get their power from underwater earthquakes in which the water reacts with those earthquakes. They all start out when the tetonic plates on the earth's surface collide with each other. Look it up!
Does a tsunami lose power over open water?
It does lose some energy to turbulence and also becomes more spread out. That is why a tsunamis is often much smaller when it strikes and area thousands of miles from its source.
Is a ocean a constructive force or a destructive force?
It is constructive, it builds up large and varied ecosystems. But, it is also destructive because tsunamis sometimes build up and can destroy huge cities.
What are the main causes of tsunamis?
Tsunamis occur after an earthquake. Earthquakes that occur in the middle of the ocean can force a tsunami to make landfall.
What is the force responsible for wave formation?
Most waves are formed by the wind (the exception is tsunamis, which are caused by earthquakes) and usually by storm systems
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
How can we prevent tsunamis?
Tsunamis cannot be prevented.
