Do tsunamis hit Japan every year?
No. Tidal waves and tsunamis are not the same thing.
Where do tidal waves come from?
Tidal waves are caused by cyclones. Cyclones are high waves accompanied with heavy rain, and they lead to floods. So cyclones cause tidal waves, that is where they come from.
What are advantages of tidal waves?
There are no obvious advantages of tidal waves. The damage they do outweighs anything else.
Why are they no longer called tidal waves?
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.
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.
Where are most tidal waves located?
The Sea of Japan.
How are waves dangerous?
Very dangerous - to those living in coastal areas. Some of the larger tidal waves can reach a few miles inland - swamping everything in their path.

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.

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.
Are tsunamis tidal waves?
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
