What else can I help you with?
Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
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.
Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
Tsunamis are usually slow-moving waves?
false
What is a giant ocean wave caused by an earthquake or a severe storm called?
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.
What can happen when an earthquake occurs at sea?
tsunamis and tidal waves are some of the effects
What is the waves do the energy in earthquakes called?
tsunamis
What are the names of waves caused by earthquakes?
They are called Tsunamis.
Why are they no longer called tidal waves?
Tsunamis are not called Tidal waves anymore, as tsunamis are not affected by the tides. Tides do not affect how strong or tall the tsunamis are and that is why tsunamis are not commonly called tidal waves anymore because the word 'tidal' is misleading.
Does the Pacific Ocean have huge waves?
Yes. They are called Tsunamis.
Giant waves produced by gravity are called?
up welling
Very high waves that wash ashore are called?
Storm Surgges
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Where was tsunamis?
A tsunami is a wave that is usally caused by either an undersea earthquake or by a land slip into the sea. Tsunamis were once called tidal waves.
What are huge waves call caused by earthquakes?
Huge waves caused by earthquakes are called tsunamis. These are large ocean waves generated by the displacement of water due to undersea seismic activity, such as an earthquake. Tsunamis can travel across oceans and cause widespread destruction along coastlines.
Are Tsunamis twisting spirals of air?
Tsunamis are giant tidal waves.
Can tsunamis be refered to as seismic waves?
No. Seismic waves are the actual vibrations in the ground generate by an earthquake. Tsunamis are a different matter, nor are all tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
When earthquakes occur what waves do they produce?
Seismic waves and tsunamis.
