Do tsunamis kill water life creatures?
no tsunami's actually wont be noticed at sea, its as it approximates the shore when water levels start to rise
Why do ships at sea tend not to notice tsunamis?
Seismic waves moving through the ocean do not form tsunami's until they approach land. At that point the forward motion of the waves pile up on the land and form a series of forward flows that do not have an opportunity to recede due to the following waves. As a result, the waves keep coming on top of the previous waves and come farther inland. Ships at sea do not notice the tsunami until they are over the continental shelf.
How many tsunamis occur in Bolivia?
Bolivia is a landlocked country and does not have direct access to the ocean. As a result, tsunamis do not occur in Bolivia. Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions along coastlines.
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 tsunami dangerous in the open sea?
In the open sea, tsunamis are generally not dangerous because their wave heights are often small and can pass unnoticed by ships. However, they travel at very high speeds, and their energy can extend to great depths. The danger escalates as they approach shallower coastal waters, where wave heights increase dramatically, posing significant risks to coastal communities and infrastructure. Thus, while open-sea tsunamis are not harmful, they become extremely dangerous near shorelines.
When do tsunamis typically occur?
tsunamis usually occurs after an earthquake specially under sea earthquakes.

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.
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 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 many tsunamis occur in Bolivia?
Bolivia is a landlocked country and does not have direct access to the ocean. As a result, tsunamis do not occur in Bolivia. Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions along coastlines.
Why don't tsunamis destroy ships in the open sea?
Ships can ride out the waves during storms (unless the waves are too powerful and/or the ship is weak or damaged). Storms destroy vessels near the shore, because rocks and land tear the vessel's hull apart.
What happen if earthquake occurs in the sea?
It can cause tsunamis.
