A tidal wave created by an earthquake is know as a?

Tsunami


How many tsunamis have made the US worst earth quake list?

A tsunami is caused by an earthquake, which means that the earthquake would make the Earthquake list. Whether the list would include information on the created tsunami is unknown. Magnitude doesn't always correlate directly to the magnitude of the earthquake nor does it have a direct relationship with the number of deaths or the amount of destruction caused.The highest magnitude Earthquake was recorded in Chile in 1960 with a Magnitude of 9.5. ThisEarthquake created a tsunami that was initially 82 feet high, diminished to 35 feet when it hit the island of Hilo and only 15 feet when it reached Japan.The 2nd worst recorded Earthquake occurred December 26th, 2004 Earthquake Magnitude 9.1-9.3.This quake created 5 tsunamis.The largest/tallest recorded tsunami was created by a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that generated a wave 1720 feet high.


How was the tsunami in Japan created?

a tsunami can be created in a few ways because there are plates under the earth which move around in a circle but it can be created if one of them goes over another one which will cause an earthquake which will then create a tsunami and another way i do not know


Does earthquakes cause mountain chains?

Yes although the earthquake has to be extremely massive for a mountain range to be created.


What is the connection between seismic waves and an earthquake?

Seismic waves are energy waves produced by an earthquake as it generates stress and releases energy along fault lines. These waves travel through the Earth and can be recorded by seismographs, helping scientists study the size, location, and characteristics of the earthquake. By analyzing seismic waves, geologists can understand the underlying causes of an earthquake and assess potential risks for future seismic activity.
