How high can tsunami waves reach during a tsunami event?
Tsunami waves can reach heights of over 100 feet during a tsunami event.
What is stronger a hurricane or a tsunami?
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?
Which is scarier tsunami or tornado siren?
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.
What is a huge sea wave caused by undersea earthquake?
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
How is a fault line connected to the tsunami?
The fault line is the subduction zone. The earthquake cause there is a megathrust earthquake. Megathrust are one of the most powerful earthquake. In order for a tsunami to be created the earthquake must be at least 7.5 or higher. Every megathrust earthquake creates a tsunami. The 8.8 earthquake that struck off the coast of Chile is one of the fault lines that created a tsunami. But the tsunami wasn't not big when it hit Hawaii. But in 1960, a 9.5 earthquake that struck off the coast from the same area generate a powerful tsunami that hit Hawaii and Japan. The waves was 35 ft when it hit Hawaii. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was cause by a fault line. There is a risk in the Pacific Northwest. Where are fault there capable of creating powerful earthquake and tsunami. It's now since 300 years since that last time it happened in 1700. Now the stress is building there and scientist said that it has a 1 in 50 chance that the area will rupture in the next 50 years.
What happens as a tsunami approaches shallow water near a harbour?
when a tsunami enters shallow water there is imediate danger that a tsunami is about to strike...!!(: ENJOY.
Does tornadoes cause more damage than a tsunami?
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.
Are there more than one warning for tsunamis like there is for a tornado?
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.
What are the options to mitigate the effects of a tsunami on an area?
what are the options to mitigate the effects of a tsunami on an area
How do you avoid the tsunami in future?
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.
Is Sanibel Island in Fla. in any danger from the Japanese 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.
Is Sanibel Island in the Gulf in any danger of the Japanese tsunami?
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.
Is a tsunami larger than a tornado?
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.
Which would do more damage a tsunami or a hurricane?
They are about the same, but if I had to say: Tsunami.
What more could have been done for tsunami people?
What could be done to save more lives IN A TSUNAMI
Are islands affected by tsunamis?
yes they are if they are in the area of a tsunami
What do the underwater volcanoes do?
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
