A tsunamis has a wave that is longer in length and looks like a fast rising tide rather than a traditional wave. A tidal wave is a wave that can reach as about a hundred feet tall and will look like a normal wave.
dey aint
Tsunamis are not called Tidal waves anymore, as tsunamis are not affected by the tides. Tides do not affect how strong or tall the tsunamis are and that is why tsunamis are not commonly called tidal waves anymore because the word 'tidal' is misleading.
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.
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Tsunamis are giant tidal waves.
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
no it is caused by earthquakes
Tsunamis are caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, while tidal waves are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Tsunamis have longer wavelengths and travel faster than tidal waves. Additionally, tsunamis can be much more destructive due to their energy and force.
Tsunamis or tidal waves.
Some people call tsunamis tidal waves but the word tsunami means "harbor wave" (tsu=harbor, nami=wave) so tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides.
The term "tidal wave" is a misnomer because tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides; they are usually caused by earthquakes.
There is not any difference between tidal waves and tsunamis, except for that cyclones are high waves accompanied with heavy rain wheras tsunamis are only waves.
