What else can I help you with?
Can a tsunami happen in the Atlantic ocean?
it is possible if the plates move and one of them slips under the other your tsunami will form.
What should someone do if a tsunami is in their area?
Get to the highest ground and move inland from the ocean/ beach.
How did Japan recover from the earthquake or tsunami?
the plates under the ocean move's rubsto gather
Why does a tsunami occers?
The earth is build with several plate tectonics and when they move(causes earthquake) the energy is realeased up which is usually in the ocean causing a tsunami
Tsunami project of disaster management for 10th?
Massive earthquakes under the ocean can create giant , destructive waves known as tsunamis. These waves move at a great speed (about 80km/hr or 500m/hr ) and can travel thousands of km across the ocean.
Can a tsunami move faster than a cheetah?
In open ocean, yes. A cheetah can move at 60 to 70 mph. A tsunami in open ocean can move at 500 to 600 mph.
Do tsunamis lose a lot of their engery as they move across the ocean?
Yes, tsunamis do lose some of their energy as they travel across the ocean due to friction with the ocean floor, but they can still maintain enough energy to cause devastation when they reach land. The speed and amplitude of the tsunami waves can also decrease as they move farther from the source.
What causes a tsunami answer with no hard words please?
Tsumamis are often caused by undersea earthquakes. The earthquake makes the ocean floor move, which causes the tsunami-wave.
How does a tsunami cause devastation in a community?
Well, a tsunami can devastate an area very quickly. Due to earthquakes, the vibrations cause the earth under the ocean to move, creating a tsunami. A tsunami can be as high as a basketball pole, streetlight, etc. A tsunami also has pressure behind it, so with the earthquake vibrations, speed, height, and pressure, it can quickly wipe out an area. After it hits a community, everything is washed away and destroyed due to force. Hope this helped!
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
Seismic waves are vibrations caused by the movement of the Earth's crust during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of ocean waves triggered by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves travel through the Earth, while tsunamis primarily move across the ocean surface.
What direction does a tsunami move in?
A tsunami typically moves in multiple directions from its point of origin, spreading outward in all directions across the ocean. Once it reaches shallower waters near the coast, it can be focused and amplified in one primary direction, leading to the destructive run-up onshore.
Though they move across the deepest ocean basins seiches and tsunami are called shallow water waves How can this be?
just cuz
