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.


Does this make sense The Tsunami was even worse than the earthquake?

yes, but tsunami isn't a pronoun, so lowercase it.


Why does an earthquake make tsunami?

Pour a glass of water, then shake it a little. You'll see the waves it makes in the water. Earthquakes are worse than that and waves in the ocean are much bigger.

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.

Was japan or Thailand tsunami bigger?

Thailand was much bigger, and worse. It caused more damage. Indonesia needed more help to repair everything after the tsunami, as Japan was richer, and Japan didn't want any help.
