No. Hurricanes generate large waves, but tsunamis are a completely different matter.
A hurricane lasts longer. A tsunami can cross the entire Pacific Ocean in about a day. After all portions of a tsunami have hit land it will have largely dissipated. By contrast, a hurricane moves much slower over the ocean and can easily last for over a week.
It depends on what measure you use. If you mean a tsunami in deep ocean water, then no. In the deep ocean a tsunami can move at up to 600 mph. A tornado typically moves at about 30 mph, rarely exceeding 70 mph. Tornadic winds can get to something over 300 mph. If you mean a tsunami near shore, possibly. Near shore a tsunami may slow to a few tens of miles per hour, though the speed depends on the topography.
Hurricane Katrina resulted in about 1,833 confirmed fatalities in the U.S., primarily in Louisiana. The Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 caused an estimated 230,000 to 280,000 deaths across 14 countries in South and Southeast Asia.
A "tsunami" is not a land form, it is a wave.
Hurricane Katrina occurred in August 2005, affecting the Gulf Coast of the United States, particularly New Orleans. The Boxing Day tsunami took place on December 26, 2004, impacting countries around the Indian Ocean with devastating consequences.
No. A hurricane on water is simply a hurricane. Tsunami is a large wave triggered by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake. A hurricane is a type of storm.
Tsunami
They are about the same, but if I had to say: Tsunami.
The Hurricane is made of high-quality stress-free glass but is much more expensive. The Tsunami is made of German shott glass, which according to the Tsunami pamphlets is 'unbreakable' When compared to the hurricane the tsunami glass is superior.
no, a tsunami is caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water.
It wasn't all that close. The tsunami struck on December 26, 2004, about 8 months before Hurricane Katrina.

No, hurricanes and actual tsunamis are not related.
well they both have to do with water but its just the form that is differant ** A hurricane is a large storm that forms over an ocean, wind rain and lightning and thunder come with this storm. A tsunami is a large wave that travels on the ocean.
I did a report over a hurricane and tsunami's. hope it helped!
