Where do tidal waves originate where do they end?
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
Earthquakes that originate beneath the ocean floor produce huge tidal waves called .?
tsunami
Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
What type of waves are genered by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
Which waves created by earthquakes are the strongest at the epicenter?
s waves

What is cause by continents colliding?
Earthquakes, follwed by tidal waves.
What percent of volcanoes cause tidal waves?

What type of waves do earthquakes create?
Seismic waves Tidal waves or tsunamis. They would also create shock waves.
Are triggered by earthquakes originating beneath the ocean floor?

What are three hazards with earthquakes?
Fissures, falling buildings, and tidal waves (if you're close to water)
