It is possible for tsunamis to be detected in deep sea, however it is not to the same extent that they are seen on land. Most people have the misconception that tsunamis are like the tidal waves we see in destructive movies that are 100 stories high and plow over major ships.
When a tsunami is formed from an earthquake, it is no more than a displacement of water after energy is released from the earthquake. While at sea, this displacement may only feel like a small wave rising and falling a few inches. However, when all this displaced water reaches land, it rushes inland causing all the destruction that we have become familiar with.
To better demonstrate this, imagine sitting in a pool and moving your hand quickly underneath the surface, pushing the water with your palm. On the surface you'd notice a slight raise in the water, however once it reached the end of the pool, it'd come crashing into the side.

Where does Stromboli have a deep sea trench?
Stromboli does not have a deep-sea trench. It is a volcanic island located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, north of Sicily. The nearest deep-sea trench, the Tyrrhenian Basin, is located to the east of Stromboli.
A sea wave that is created when the seafloor slips after an underwater earthquake?
A tsunami is a sea wave caused by an underwater earthquake that displaces a large volume of water, leading to the propagation of powerful waves across the ocean. Tsunamis can result in devastating coastal flooding and destruction due to their high energy and long wavelength.
Seismic sea waves which approach the coasts at greater force are known as?
Tsunamis. Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that have the potential to cause significant damage when they reach coastal areas.
What is the difference in origin between deep-sea muds and oozes?
Deep-sea muds are primarily composed of fine-grained terrestrial material and are transported to the ocean floor by rivers or wind. Deep-sea oozes, on the other hand, are composed mainly of the calcareous or siliceous remains of microscopic marine organisms, such as foraminifera and diatoms, that accumulate on the ocean floor over time.
The ocean floor is hard to get to Deep-sea organisms have been difficult to study. How do I combine these two sentences to make a correct one sentence?
Deep-sea organisms have been difficult to study because the ocean floor is hard to get to.
Where do Tsunamis happen around the world?
Tsunamis can happen in the Pacific Ocean along the Ring of Fire, which is a horseshoe-shaped zone of earthquake-prone areas. They can also occur in the Indian Ocean, particularly near the Indonesian archipelago. Additionally, tsunamis have been known to occur in the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean Sea.
Are all tsunamis sea-based?
Yes, all tsunamis are sea-based they form at the sea. That is where scientists detect a tsunami. The word tsunami is japenese
Why do you got tsunamis?
earthquakes at sea
What is the name of the highest sea wave?
The highest sea waves are tsunamis
What countries get tsunamis?
Tsunamis or Tidal Waves can happen on any country that borders a Sea or an Ocean.
When do tsunamis typically occur?
tsunamis usually occurs after an earthquake specially under sea earthquakes.
How does a Tsunamis effect an earthquake?
They actually don't. Earthquakes can effect tsunamis by causing them when they occur in the sea.
What causes tsunamis floods?
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
What effects do tsunamis have on the environment?
Tsunamis can completely wreck forests and destroy the reef along the coasts. Tsunamis can't wash things out to sea, but if poisonous toxins contaminate water, it can destroy sea beds and natural wildlife.
How is deep vein thrombosis detected?
Deep vein thrombosis can be detected through venography and radionuclide venography, Doppler ultrasonography, and impedance plethysmography.
What happen if earthquake occurs in the sea?
It can cause tsunamis.
Can anyone be affected by Tsunamis?
Well, actually tsunamis can affect only the coastal zones since they come from the sea.
