How are earthquakes and tsunamis similar?
tsunamis are generally an effect caused by earthquaques, which release energy when a fault can no longer keep the frictional energy produced by tectonic movements. They are both waves, the earthquake are acoustic waves that propagate in the earth, while tsunamis are material waves, in that the energy propagates through water.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Are Tsunamis twisting spirals of air?
Tsunamis are giant tidal waves.
What is the effect of the earthquake?
They cause tsunamis
Can tsunamis be refered to as seismic waves?
No. Seismic waves are the actual vibrations in the ground generate by an earthquake. Tsunamis are a different matter, nor are all tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
When earthquakes occur what waves do they produce?
Seismic waves and tsunamis.
Do tsunamis effect the lithosphere?
Tsunamis do not directly affect the lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's crust. However, tsunamis can be triggered by disturbances in the lithosphere, such as underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, which generate the massive waves that can cause destruction along coastlines.
What are the best characteristics of tsunamis?
waves
Did Mississippi get hit by a tsunamis fron hurricane Katrina?
No. There were large waves, but waves produce by hurricanes and other storms, not matter how big, are not tsunamis. Tsunamis are a very different type of wave.
Can sumone surf a tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis don't curl and break like regular waves.
How does a Tsunamis effect an earthquake?
They actually don't. Earthquakes can effect tsunamis by causing them when they occur in the sea.
Why are they no longer called tidal waves?
Tsunamis are not called Tidal waves anymore, as tsunamis are not affected by the tides. Tides do not affect how strong or tall the tsunamis are and that is why tsunamis are not commonly called tidal waves anymore because the word 'tidal' is misleading.
