Yes. Earthquakes at subduction zones can trigger tsunamis.
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
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.
tsunami
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.
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
no it is caused by earthquakes
no, they are created by earthquakes.
Earthquakes, follwed by 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.
Tidal waves ?
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
The term "tidal wave" is a misnomer because tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides; they are usually caused by earthquakes.
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.

Fissures, falling buildings, and tidal waves (if you're close to water)
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
