What happens to sea waves when an earthquake is generated?
Sometimes a tsunami can occur after an earthquake has taken place. You can know when a tsunami will occur by the way the water reacts at a beach near the ocean. The water will start to pull away from the beach faster than a tide will. When this happens, the tsunami is about to strike.
What is the process of the ocean's water slowly rising to reach high tide is called?
Flood tide is when the ocean's water slowly rises to reach high tide.
What do you do before a Tsunami?
As waves approach the shore the wavelength and speed decreases. As they decrease, the wave grows larger. The wave then crashes onto shore because it becomes too steep for the bottom of the wave to carry.
What is the difference between storm surge tidal wave and tsunami?
A tsunami and a tidal wave are exactly the same. They were both terms coined long before the cause was understood. In the west, they believed that the tide caused the wave. Therefore they called it a tidal wave. Tsunami means harbor wave in Japanese because it often occurs in a harbor. After it was realized that such a wave was caused by seismic activity rather than the tide, a new term was sought. So, English adopted the word Tsunami from Japanese and a new word found it's way into the English dictionary. Tsunami is now the correct scientific term for a wave (or series of waves) caused by an earthquake, and coming onto land in an area relatively distant from the earthquake. The wave action in the ocean is often hidden below the surface when in deep water and the full effect of the Tsunami may not be realized until it strikes land.
What is the zone area of ocean shore between the lowest tide and the highest tide?
neritic zone
When water at the oceans edge pulls back it is?
Low or Ebb Tide. The ocean also behaves like this just before a tsunami.
How do you spell tying?
I tied my bathing suit tighter as I watched the incoming ocean tide.The pirate tied his prisoner feet from the tide level.Seeing the outgoing tide before a tsunami leaves many people tongue tied.
Why does low tide occur after the earthquake and before the tsunami?
It isn't low tide, but part of the wave. Each wave in a tsunami has two parts: a crest of high water and a trough of low water. In many cases the trough comes first, resulting in the water receding.
