tidal wave, term properly applied to the crest of a http://www.answers.com/topic/tide as it moves around the earth. The wavelike upstream rush of water caused by the incoming tide in some locations is known as a tidal http://www.answers.com/topic/bore. In popular usage the term tidal wave also is often applied to any destructive wave or to high water not related to tidal phenomena. These latter waves are of two types: http://www.answers.com/topic/tsunami, which are waves caused by http://www.answers.com/topic/earthquake, and storm surges (see under http://www.answers.com/topic/storm).

What else can I help you with?
Some of the advantages of tidal wave energy?
Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
What are advantages of tidal waves?
There are no obvious advantages of tidal waves. The damage they do outweighs anything else.
Would you recommend using tidal wave energy in Australia?
Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
What percent of volcanoes cause tidal waves?
no volcanoes cause tidal waves - the plates create land. earthquakes, however, do make tidal waves and tsunamis in the aftermath. look that up instead.
How are tidal waves used to generate electricity for the power grid?
Tidal waves are not used to generate electricity. A tidal wave is a huge wave, rather like a tsunami, that occurs very infrequently, and without warning.Tides are harnessed to produce electricity, and also waves are used, but not tidal waves.
What are energy transformations in a tidal wave power station?
There are no tidal wave power stations.Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
What are the main causes of natural disasters?
Weather [hurricanes, tornadoes, floods], volcanoes, earthquakes, avalanches, tidal waves (tsunamis), and fire
Are tsunamis tidal waves?
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
Are tidal waves longitude or transverse?
Tidal waves are longitudinal waves. They move in the direction of the wave energy transfer, which in this case is the direction of the tide's gravitational pull.
What waves do all the energy from the sun is called?
Tidal Waves
What is another name for tidal waves?
there is no other name for a tidal wave, just tidal wave
What causes waves other than wind?
Waves can also be caused by gravitational forces from the moon and sun (tidal waves), earthquakes (tsunamis), underwater landslides, and volcanic eruptions. These phenomenon can disturb the water's surface and create waves that can travel long distances.
