What is a powerful ocean wave that causes great destruction?
A tsunami
Is a tsunami powerful or a tornado?
Both
When is a tsunami produced?
A tsunami is produced by a sudden and significant displacement of water, often caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. This displacement creates a series of powerful waves that can travel across the ocean at high speeds, causing devastation when they reach coastal areas.
How powerful was the earthquake and tsunami in japan?
9.0-10
Can you swim through a tsunami?
No, it is not possible to swim through a tsunami due to the powerful and destructive force of the waves.
What is needed to form a tsunami?
A tsunami is typically formed by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide that displaces a large volume of water. The sudden displacement of water creates powerful waves that can travel long distances and cause destruction when they reach the shoreline.
Which is more powerful a tsunami or a thunder storm?
You cannot really compare them, because they are completely different types of things. A tsunami has the potential to do far more damage than a thunderstorm can, so on that basis, you could say a tsunami is more powerful.
Is the japan tsunami the strongest tsunami in the world?

How does a tsunami start and what are the key factors that trigger its formation?
A tsunami starts when there is a sudden disturbance on the ocean floor, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or underwater landslide. The key factors that trigger its formation are the displacement of a large volume of water, which creates powerful waves that travel across the ocean at high speeds.
What is a powerful sea wave caused by an earthquake called?
Tsunami
How is a fault line connected to the tsunami?
The fault line is the subduction zone. The earthquake cause there is a megathrust earthquake. Megathrust are one of the most powerful earthquake. In order for a tsunami to be created the earthquake must be at least 7.5 or higher. Every megathrust earthquake creates a tsunami. The 8.8 earthquake that struck off the coast of Chile is one of the fault lines that created a tsunami. But the tsunami wasn't not big when it hit Hawaii. But in 1960, a 9.5 earthquake that struck off the coast from the same area generate a powerful tsunami that hit Hawaii and Japan. The waves was 35 ft when it hit Hawaii. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was cause by a fault line. There is a risk in the Pacific Northwest. Where are fault there capable of creating powerful earthquake and tsunami. It's now since 300 years since that last time it happened in 1700. Now the stress is building there and scientist said that it has a 1 in 50 chance that the area will rupture in the next 50 years.
