What attacked Pearl Harbor?
Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese navy in two attack waves, totaling 353 aircraft launched from six aircraft carriers.
What is an aircraft carrier?
An aircraft carrier is basically a large "barge". Or a large flat ship that can hold many different planes, and is long enough for a plane to take off and land on. These large aircraft carriers are usually located in the middle of the ocean, in a location where an airport or landing location on land is not accessible. Planes are able to land and take off from the deck of this ship. There is a cable that snags onto the plane as it is landing to keep the plane from skidding off the boat. There are several different types of Carriers. There are the VSTOL types, the British have a number of these, they are smaller than the US large carriers. The aircraft, Harriers, do vertical take offs and only require enough space to land on. The US has Heliocopter Assault (LHAs) that are designed to transport large groups of Marines from the ship to shore in attack waves. And the biggest are the US Navy's Nimitz class carriers. Nuclear powered, they carry heliocopters, jets and prop planes. They are designed to extend the US presence into areas not readily available to aircraft from land based locations. The greatly increased range of most aircraft has greatly extended their range of operation. They allow rapid turn around of aircraft, increasing the number of missions that can be run.
How many waves of Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor?
One hundred and seventy one aircraft attacking in two waves.
What countries get tsunamis?
Tsunamis or Tidal Waves can happen on any country that borders a Sea or an Ocean.
How many Janpanise planes and ships attatcked at pearl harbor?
Thee were six aircraft carriers and about thirty ships total in the Japanese Task Force, including about seven oilers who had to go along to refuel the Japanese ships in mid-ocean. Japanese ships had a short cruising range, and only the two battleships and the two newest carriers had the range to make it to Hawaii and back without refueling. Underway refueling was not something the Japanese had ever done, and the difficulty of this requirement almost killed their plan to attack Hawaii. But they solved the problems and were lucky that seas were calm enough they could do the necessary refueling. The oilers turned back and did not get very close to Hawaii. About 350 airplanes total were launched on the raid, in two waves of about equal size and very close together, one right after the other.
What are wave carriers?
Wave carriers are aircraft carriers that are being crushed by giant waves.
How do tsunamis become giant waves?
Giant ocean waves may be the result of constructive interference of smaller waves.
What are like giant rivers in the ocean?
it is waves
What is the giant rivers of water moving slowly across the ocean?
waves
What is a giant ocean wave caused by an earthquake or a severe storm?
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.

If an earthquake happens under the ocean it causes giant waves called?
These waves are called "Tsunami" Note , Earthquakes CAN cause giant waves (not all sub sea earthquakes do this). Note also that there are other causes of Tsunami.
How are Waves are carriers of energy?
Waves are carriers of energy because waves are caused by energy flowing through the water making them move in a wavy motion. The waves are also caused by the wind blowing on the top of the water.
A disturbance in matter that carriers energy from one place to another is called?
A disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another is called a wave. Waves can be classified as mechanical, such as sound waves and ocean waves, or electromagnetic, such as light waves.
Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
Is a tsunami a giant wave?
Yes, a tsunami is a series of huge ocean waves caused by a sudden and powerful disturbance underwater, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. They are not ordinary ocean waves but rather long wavelengths with great energy that can cause significant and destructive impacts when they reach shore.
