What tsunami is not a tidal wave?

The one that is not caused by and earthquake or seaquake. Well you can see that a tsunami will still be in the air, it can be called the wall of water, it goes over land. Wile a tidal wave is a beach wave that still goes over land, that means that a tsunami is worse.

Did the tsunamis in japan get worse starting in 2012 to 2017?

What is worse a tsunami or a tornado and why?

How bad a tsunami or tornado is varies between individual events, but tsunamis are generally worse. While the worst damage of a tornado is usually limited to a small area, a tsunami can easily decimate hundreds of miles of coastline. The worst winds of a tornado usually only affect a given spot for a few seconds. Footage of the 2011 tsunami in Japan show that, in some places, water surged inland for as long as 15 minutes and took even longer to recede. Additionally, water is much denser than air and so can carry much more force. In a tornado you will probably escape harm if you have a few walls to shield you from the wind and debris. In a tsunami, even if you are not injured by the force of the water and debris, you can still drown.


How badly can a tsunami injure you?

Does tornadoes cause more damage than a tsunami?

Is a tsunami worse than a tornado?

Personally, I belive so as tsunamis are harder to escape from and they last longer. Also, tornadoes can be minor, unlike tsunamis which are GIGANTIC sea waves that cause mass destruction to countries (take the 2004 tsunami for instance).
