Are tsunamis caused by tidal waves?
no it is caused by earthquakes
Where do tidal waves come from?
Tidal waves are caused by cyclones. Cyclones are high waves accompanied with heavy rain, and they lead to floods. So cyclones cause tidal waves, that is where they come from.
What are large sea waves that are caused by vibrations of the earth?
Tsunamis or tidal waves.
Most surface waves are caused by?
Most surface waves are caused by wind. Tsunamis are formed by heat and circular wind motions. Tidal waves are caused by hurricanes with huge wind currents.
What caused death and destruction on the islands around mount tambora?
huge tidal waves caused by the eruption
Where do tidal waves originate where do they end?
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
Why is tidal wave power energy good?
some advantages of tidal energy are, continuous, predictable energy. Another benefit of tidal power is that it is predictable. The gravitational forces of celestial bodies are not going to stop anytime soon.
Why aren't tsunami called tidal waves?
The term "tidal wave" is a misnomer because tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides; they are usually caused by earthquakes.
Giant tidal waves which wash away sand and rock from beaches are caused by?
It's caused by the moons gravitational pull
Why are tsunamis not like tidal waves?
Tsunami's are different in the sense that they are caused by MASSIVE underwater movement in the earth's crust. After the shift, a whirlpool with the strength of hundreds of tons is formed and is pushed upwards towards the surface into the form of a tsunami. A Tidal wave is caused by overlaping sea waves that bundle up over time from an event similar to an earthquake (but not an earthquake), and form into a monstrosity that can tip boats and even ships.
Some of the advantages of tidal wave energy?
Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
What are advantages of tidal waves?
There are no obvious advantages of tidal waves. The damage they do outweighs anything else.
