It depends where the epicenter is.

tsunamis and tidal waves are some of the effects
Many tidal waves originate from an earthquake under the sea bed.
waves occur all the time but after an earthquake tidal waves occur. Tidal waves are the cause of the tectonic plates colliding underwater. After the collision over time the wave goes form a small bump in the water to growing bigger and bigger into giant super wave capable of destroying towns.
No. The answer is, first the earth trembles (there is earthquake), and if that earthquake is in sea or ocean, the water would be quaked too. As a result tidal waves will be created.. and that is Tsunami
Because of the risk of tidal waves following on.
Such waves have nothing to do with tides. The preferred term is tsunami.
It happens due to the shifting of the earths plates.. Jus like a earthquake but it happens in the ocean!
The name given to the huge waves that follow an earthquake is a tsunami. Tsunamis are a series of ocean waves with long wavelengths that can travel at high speeds across the ocean and cause significant damage when they reach the shore.
Tidal energy is the type of energy that comes from the effect of the Moon's gravity on the oceans. Tidal energy is harnessed using tidal power generators to convert the energy from the tides into electricity.
Tidal waves, also known as tsunamis, are caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace a large amount of water. The force of these events creates powerful waves that travel across the ocean. Factors that contribute to the formation of tidal waves include the magnitude and location of the initial disturbance, the depth of the water, and the shape of the coastline that the waves encounter.
A tsunami is a wave that is usally caused by either an undersea earthquake or by a land slip into the sea. Tsunamis were once called tidal waves.
