∙ 14y agoA large wave created by some earthquakes is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are generated by the displacement of water caused by underwater seismic activity, leading to the formation of powerful and destructive ocean waves.

Large waves produced by earthquakes are called tsunamis. Tsunamis are generated when seismic activity, such as an earthquake, displaces a large volume of water, causing waves to propagate across the ocean. These waves can travel long distances and result in significant destruction along coastal areas.
Tsunami. These are giant ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes that displace large amounts of water. Tsunamis can travel long distances across the ocean and cause devastating damage when they reach the shore.
The primary (P) wave is recorded first on a seismograph. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through solid rock and liquid.
tsunami. Tsunamis are long, powerful sea waves caused by underwater seismic activity like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. These waves can travel across entire ocean basins and cause devastating destruction along coastal areas.
A big wave is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are usually caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace large volumes of water, resulting in a massive wave that can cause widespread destruction when it reaches the shore.
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.

The height of the wave in the earthquakes depends with the earthquake in question.
It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
Another name for a tidal wave is a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
In some instances and undersea earthquake can trigger a tsunami, a kind of massive wave.
A large water wave is called a "tsunami." Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, and they can cause significant damage and destruction when they reach shore.
Yes
A Tsunami is caused by an Earthquake. The ground or area of land shakes which causes a small to large wave in a body of water, which is a Tsunami. An aftershock tends to be a couple of smaller earthquakes, after a large earthquake that you are able to feel. Tons of earthquakes can occur throughout the day, but they have a big enough decimal to actually be able to feel them.
A wave with high amplitude has large peaks and troughs, indicating a significant amount of energy. This type of wave carries more energy than a wave with small amplitude, and can be more powerful and potentially more destructive. High-amplitude waves are often associated with phenomena like earthquakes, tsunamis, or large storm surges.
The difference is that they all have different movements, some have wave motion and the others shaking
