Safety precaution in tsunami?
When a Tsunami occurs dig big pits near the sea shore as the speed and the quantity of water will get reduced.
How can a tsunami occur?
As a tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and travels into the shallower water near the coast, it transforms. The tsunamis energy flux, which is dependent on both its wave speed and wave height, remains nearly constant. because of this shaoling effect, a tsunami, imperceptible at sea, may grow to be several meters or more in height near the coast. When it finally reaches the coast, a tsunami may appear as a rapidly rising or falling tide or a series of breaking waves.
Does a tsunami go faster when the water is cold or warm?
There is no discernible difference in speed due to water temperature. The wave speed depends upon wavelength and the depth of the water for tsunamis at sea.
Which is faster - the average speed of tsunami sometime called a tidal wave or the top speed of a cheetah?
The top speed of a tsunami is 900 kilometers per hour (600 mi/hr) and the top speed of a cheetah is 120 kilometers per hour (75 mi/hr). Therefore, the average speed of a tsunami is faster than the top speed of a cheetah.
An earthquake causes a tsunami because force from the quake?
An earthquake can cause a tsunami when there is a sudden vertical movement of the seafloor, displacing a large volume of water and generating a series of waves that travel across the ocean. The energy released during the earthquake is transferred to the water, creating powerful and destructive tsunami waves.
What is the term for an water wave created by an earthquake?
its called a tsunami
The tsunami waves travel at the speed of what transport?
Tsunami waves start by an underwater earthquake. The disturbance shifts the water around it, creating a tsunami. The tsunami increases its speed as it travels, and gains more water on the way to land. When it hits land, there is a total flood.
What are the steps of a tsunami?
Tsunami do not have steps, they are a water wave.
What is the source of oxygen in photosynthesis in plants?
The source of oxygen in photosynthesis in plants is water. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of this process.
What is the source of energy for these waves?
The source of energy for ocean waves is primarily wind. Wind blowing across the surface of the ocean transfers its energy to the water, creating waves. The size and strength of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and the distance over which the wind blows.
How does the speed and wave height vary according to the depth of the ocean when there is a tsunami?
In deep ocean water, the speed of a tsunami can exceed 500 mph but the wave height may be only a few feet. As the tsunami approaches shallow water and the sea floor rises, the speed decreases while the wave height increases significantly. This is why tsunamis can cause devastating flooding and destruction when they reach the coastline.
What happens as a tsunami approaches shallow water near a harbour?
when a tsunami enters shallow water there is imediate danger that a tsunami is about to strike...!!(: ENJOY.
