Tsunami waves have a much longer wavelength in proportion to their height than ordinary waves do. They are often miles long.

Can a tsunami break your bones?
A tsunami is a wave. Waves alone rarely break legs. But waves can throw you into things, or throw things into you. And those things can certainly break bones.
What kind of harm does a tsunami do?
big wave hit small things, people drown, this question doesnt deserve an answer.
Is a tsunami a giant wave?
Yes, a tsunami is a giant wave.
What is an other name for tidal wave?
Another name for tidal wave is Tsunami.
How strong is the tsunami wave?
The tsunami wave is so strong that it can crush the whole entire city.

If tsunami is for an ocean wave what would the wave be called for Lake Baikal?
Its still called a tsunami. There was a big Tsunami there in 1861/62
Is a tsunami a transverse or a longitudinal wave?
Short answer: Both. Long Answer: Many people would think that a tsunami is a transverse wave as they go up and down. But like all water waves a tsunami has elements of transverse wave motion and longitudinal wave motion. In a transverse wave the particles move perpendicular (at right angles) to wave direction. In a longitudinal wave the particles move parallel (in the same direction) to the wave direction. In water waves (including tsunami) the water particles move in a circular or elliptical pattern depending on the depth of the water. In the case of tsunami which can always be treated as shallow water waves, the motion is elliptical. Note that this is only the case for non-breaking waves. As any wave (and particulalry a tsunami) breaks the pure wave behaviour will break down as the energy of the wave is transferred to the turbulent motion of the breaking wave or in some cases (as is common with tsunami) a bore, which is no longer a wave as all the wave energy has been turned into a forward moving 'wall' of water.

What are the steps of a tsunami?
Tsunami do not have steps, they are a water wave.
