How does wind speed affect tsunamis?

Wind speed itself does not directly affect tsunamis. Tsunamis are usually caused by underwater seismic activity, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, which generate large waves that can travel across the ocean. However, strong winds can potentially impact the propagation of tsunamis by influencing wave height or speed in coastal areas.

Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?

Tsunamis and earthquakes are geological phenomena caused by the movement of the Earth's plates, while weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time. Tsunamis are triggered by underwater disturbances like earthquakes, which displace water, while earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust.


Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?

Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
