Would a tsunami triggered by a comet be bigger than a tsunami triggered by an earthquake?

actually a comet will make a bigger tsunami than an earth quake because it depends on how big the comet is so obviously if its a mini comet about the size of a fist its not going to do any affect but a comet like the size of Texas it would make a Mega Tsunami and once there was a Mega Tsunami the size of a city! and it flooded it completely.

Possibilities of a tsunami occurring in kent?
A tsunami is suspected to have occured after the 1580 Dover earthquake, which some scientisits believed caused an undersea landslide which triggered a tsunami, which was previously put down to seiches. This is a potential future trigger of a tsunami in Kent, although another more relistic one is an earthquake off Portugal, where one occured in 1755 and sent a tsunami to Cornwall, although if the waves did reach Kent they would probably be quite small.
Time gap between earthquake and tsunami?
It depends on the size of the earthquake. If it was just a very very minor shudder, then it would not make much of a tsunami, nor would it go very far. However, if there is an earthquake like the one that just hit Japan, then that could cross the pacific ocean.
Would an earthquake in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado be likely to form a tsunami?

What is the most disatrous of the natural disasters?
Personally i would say either tornadoes/earthquakes/tsunami/flood. if you mean which event was most disatserous i would think the japan 2011 earthquake/tsunami!
How far in did the tsunami go in japan?
I presume you mean how far INLAND did the tsunami travel before stopping or retreating.That would depend on the topography ( look it up!!) of the affected area and the power contained in the wave at the point of striking the shoreline. In other words, the closer to the earthquake centre, generally the bigger and more dangerous the wave.AdditionallyIt was reported that the 33ft (10m) Tsunami wave triggered on March 11, 2011 off the coast of Japan made it 6 miles (10 kilometers) inland with washed up debris and water reaching distances of 10 miles or more inland.
What would be triggered by an earthquake?
A tsunami mud slide land slide etc

Why was there an earthquake then a tsunami?
No. The answer is, first the earth trembles (there is earthquake), and if that earthquake is in sea or ocean, the water would be quaked too. As a result tidal waves will be created.. and that is Tsunami
When would a tsunamic occur?
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
What would happend if 2 tsunami's would collide?
it will make a even bigger tsunami
What type of mass wasting would likely be triggered by an earthquake?
Landslide.
An 8.3 earthquake will produce tsunami of how far?
Bear in mind that it is not just the Richter scale measurement which determines the severity of a tsunami which results from an earthquake; the location of the earthquake is also relevant. And inland earthquake does not produce the same tsunami as an underwater earthquake. That said, 8.3 is an extremely powerful earthquake which could produce a tsunami that would travel for thousands of miles and cause immense dammage over a very wide area.
What is the result of an earthquake occurring on the ocean floor?
tsunami's would occur
What can sometimes happen when there is an earthquake under the sea?
this would cause a tsunami
How does earthquake generated tsunami?
Earthquakes don't generate tsunamis - a tsunami is caused by different atmospheric pressure systems coming together. An underwater earthquake would generate a tidal wave, which is caused by the water displaced by the earthquake.
What meterial holds up in an10.5 earthquake?
We don't know what material holds up in an 10.5 earthquake. It's not has been tested yet. But it maybe possible that the building structures survived a 8.0 earthquake could work in the 10.5 earthquake. But it looks impossible because a 10.5 earthquake is a super strong quake and if it last more then 5 min, bulidings would collpase. If it were to occur in the ocean. It will generate a destructive tsunami. The tsunami can grow even bigger if the earthquake were to cause a massive landslide.
