Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
What waves are slower than those that originate at the focus?
The waves that are slower that those that originate at the focus are called secondary waves or S-waves. They are shear waves that are transverse in nature.
Is a tidal wave a longitudinal?
A tidal wave, often referred to as a tsunami, is primarily a series of ocean waves caused by disturbances such as underwater earthquakes. These waves are not classified as longitudinal waves; instead, they are surface waves that involve both longitudinal and transverse wave properties. In contrast, longitudinal waves consist of compressions and rarefactions, like sound waves. Thus, while a tidal wave involves complex motion, it is not purely longitudinal.
What can happen when an earthquake occurs at sea?
tsunamis and tidal waves are some of the effects
What is a sentence for orignate?
Many tidal waves originate from an earthquake under the sea bed.

Where do tidal waves originate and where do they end?
Twice each day the water level in the ocean’s water rises and falls. The daily rise and fall of ocean water is called a tide. Tides originate in the oceans and progress toward the coastlines. When the highest part, or crest of the wave reaches a particular location, high tide occurs; low tide corresponds to the lowest part of the wave, or its trough. The difference in height between the high tide and the low tide is called the tidal range.
Some of the advantages of tidal wave energy?
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 are advantages of tidal waves?
There are no obvious advantages of tidal waves. The damage they do outweighs anything else.
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.
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.
Are tsunamis tidal waves?
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
What waves do all the energy from the sun is called?
Tidal Waves
Are tidal waves longitude or transverse?
Tidal waves are longitudinal waves. They move in the direction of the wave energy transfer, which in this case is the direction of the tide's gravitational pull.
