Because width doesn't matter in a tsunami. The width is typically the length of the shore. It would be extremely difficult to classify a tsunami based upon height and width when the width is simply incomparable.

What was the height of the tsunami in Japan 2011?
The Tsunami waves were around 10 meters (33 feet) high.AdditionallyThe tsunami waves were as high as 40.5 meters (133 ft) in Miyako.The tsunami was so powerful its waves traveled the entire Pacific ocean and were felt from the coasts of Alaska to that of Chile
The water displaced by a strong earthquake on the ocean floor forms large waves called?
title waves or tsunami's
What are powerful seismic waves that begin as an ocean floor earthquake that can reach 30 meters in height when approaching land and can cause destruction in coastal areas?
A tsunami
Why doesn't a tsunami wave break?
Tsunami waves have a much longer wavelength in proportion to their height than ordinary waves do. They are often miles long.
How does the speed and wave height vary according to the depth of the ocean when there is a tsunami?
Tsunamis wave energy extends from the surface to the bottom in the deepest waters. As the Tsunami attacks the coast line, the wave energy is compressed into a much shorter distance creating destructive , life-threatening waves.

What happens when tsunami erupts?
Nothing . . . tsunamis are ocean waves, not volcanoes.
How do scientist monitor tsunami waves?
From space and ocean Like measurements
What is the height of Japan's tsunami in 2011?
The earthquake generated tsunami on March 11, 2011 produced waves that surpassed four story buildings, or more than 40 feet, as witnessed in Shizugawa and elsewhere near Japan's coast. The tsunami was so powerful its waves traveled the entire Pacific ocean and were felt from the coasts of Alaska to that of Chile.
Give some examples of the power of ocean waves?
earthquakes,winds ,tsunami
What is a tsunameter?
Tsunameters are devices installed in the ocean to detect and measure the waves of a tsunami
What are the mechanisms involved in the formation of Tsunamis?
A tsunami is caused by an earthquake in side the ocean causing big waves and forming a tsunami.
