the moon controls the tide. It has almost everything to do with the tsunamis.
The moon's gravitational pull on Earth affects ocean tides, but not tsunamis directly. Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, not by the moon's influence.
The moon phase during a tsunami is unlikely to have a significant impact on the occurrence of the tsunami itself. Tsunamis are primarily triggered by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, not by the moon phase.
There will be tsunamis
They aren't. Normal tides are governed by the gravitational pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent of the Sun. Tsunamis are caused by undersea earthquakes or by landslips into the sea.
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.
Tsunamis can travel close to the speed of sound. The most recent one traveled at about 200 mph.
Tsunamis
Tsunamis are not associated with storms of any kind.
The moon gives us waves not provided by tsunamis and it also keeps our gravitational pull limited.
Kiribati has not experienced any major tsunamis in recent history. The low-lying nature of the islands makes them vulnerable to tsunamis, but there is no record of a significant tsunami hitting Kiribati.
Tsunamis do not have epicentres. Earthquakes do. Sometimes, as in the case of Japan, earthquakes cause tsunamis.
The mass of the wavefront causes most of the damage.
