A Tsunami, or tidal wave, or seismic sea wave may be caused by an earthquake. It is incorrect to refer to giant ocean waves caused by severe storms as tsunamis. Severe storms may cause giant ocean waves referred to as "Rogue Waves" - which are distinct from and NOT the same as Tsunamis.
Krakatoa (or Krakatau) had a volcanic eruption in 1883
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
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.
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.
Volcanic activity on the ocean floor can cause giant tidal waves known as tsunamis. These waves are typically triggered by underwater volcanic eruptions or the collapse of volcanic islands, which displace large volumes of water. When the energy from the eruption or collapse is released, it generates powerful waves that can travel across oceans at high speeds, leading to significant coastal impact upon reaching land.
The volcanic activity on Io is caused by the intense gravitational forces exerted by Jupiter and its other moons. These forces create tidal heating inside Io, leading to intense volcanic activity and a constantly changing surface.

Tidal heating is the primary mechanism responsible for generating the internal heat of Io. This is caused by the gravitational interactions between Io, Jupiter, and the other Galilean moons, which create friction and molten material within Io's interior, driving its intense volcanic activity.
i need HELP!!
It's caused by the moons gravitational pull
Scientists and researchers studying historical records, geology, and the impact of past volcanic eruptions have concluded that under certain circumstances, volcanic eruptions can trigger tsunamis or tidal waves. An example of this is the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, which caused a series of devastating tsunamis in the region.
With over 400 active volcanoes, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System. This extreme geologic activity is the result of tidal heating from friction generated within Io's interior by Jupiter's varying pull.
It is because Io is so close to Jupiter. This means "tidal forces" are caused on Io by Jupiter's gravitational field. These forces cause distortions inside Io, leading to volcanic activity. The moon Io is the most "volcanic" place in the solar system.
Tidal and tectonic activity will cease. Volcanic activity will increase and the earth will eventually look like Venus.
Another name for a tidal wave is a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
The term "tidal wave" is not well suited for tsunamis because they are caused by earthquakes or, in some cases, landslides and volcanic eruptions. The have nothing to do with the tides.
