The shoreline and adjacent low-lying areas are at the greatest risk.
Tsunami waves can reach heights of over 100 feet during a tsunami event.
That depends on the strength/size of the volcano and tsunami in question. That is just like asking if fire is stronger than water. With a lot of fire, you can cause the water to transform into steam, but with a lot of water, you can put the fire out. Make sense?
It depends on individual experiences and perspectives, but generally speaking, a tsunami is considered scarier due to its massive scale, destructive power, and ability to cause widespread devastation along coastlines. Tornado sirens, while alarming, are more localized and can be better prepared for with advance warning systems.
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
A tsunami can reach heights of over 100 feet when it makes landfall, depending on factors such as the size and strength of the tsunami and the shape of the coastline.
when a tsunami enters shallow water there is imediate danger that a tsunami is about to strike...!!(: ENJOY.
Generally not. A tsunami can usually cause more damage because it affects a bigger area. However, a tornado can often cause worse damage in a small area.
what are the options to mitigate the effects of a tsunami on an area
Yes. There is a tsunami watch is issued if a tsunami may impact an area. A tsunami advisory is issued if a tsunami poses a threat to areas in or along the water. A tsunami warning is issued if a tsunami is expected to cause widespread flooding.
You can reduce effect of tsunami but there is no way you can avoid it for certain, area which are most likely to get hit by tsunami are area near sea and ocean (large amount of water) and area which also has high earthquake zone. If you are not affected by these two factors you are very unlikely to get hit by the tsunami.
Sanibel Island, located on the Gulf coast of Florida, is not in any danger from the Japanese Tsunami. Tsunamis lose energy as they travel across large distances, and the Gulf of Mexico acts as a barrier that prevents the tsunami waves from reaching the shorelines of Florida.
Sanibel Island, located off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico, is not directly in the path of a potential Japanese tsunami due to the great distance between the two locations. The Gulf of Mexico is not typically affected by tsunamis originating in the Pacific Ocean.
They are about the same, but if I had to say: Tsunami.
In terms of area of effect, yes. A tsunami may impact hundreds or thousands of miles of coastline as a tsunami spreads across the ocean like ripples on a pond. By contrast a tornado is limited to a damage path that is rarely more than a mile wide or more than 20 miles long.
What could be done to save more lives IN A TSUNAMI
yes they are if they are in the area of a tsunami
If you mean Tsunami, well the whole reason a tsunami happens is because of a earthquake , the tsunami reacts and gives out a earthquake in the sea, so the tsunami pushes the waves on land causing the area to be flouded
