How was a tsunami form?
Tsunami is a series of water waves that occur when there is disturbance on the ocean floor either by volcanic activities, earthquakes,or underwater explosions.
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.
The water displaced by a strong earthquake on the ocean floor forms large waves called?
tsunamis. These waves travel across the ocean at high speeds and can cause devastating impacts when they hit coastlines.
Did quake and tsunami happen simultaneously?
No, an example of this is japan when the earthquake occurred in the middle of the ocean this sent tremors through the earth which caused waves to be sent out from the point of the quake, a tsunami is when the huge waves hit land, when these waves hit japan it was a tsunami
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
Seismic waves are vibrations caused by the movement of the Earth's crust during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of ocean waves triggered by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves travel through the Earth, while tsunamis primarily move across the ocean surface.
How was a tsunami form?
Tsunami is a series of water waves that occur when there is disturbance on the ocean floor either by volcanic activities, earthquakes,or underwater explosions.
Was the tsunami a natural hazard?
Yes it is and it still is. A tsunami is a series of powerful waves that is caused by the displacement of a large volume of water. They usually occur in the ocean, but sometimes they can occur in lakes.
A tsunami can occur when there is vertical movement at a fault under?
A tsunami can occur when there is vertical movement at a fault under the ocean floor, displacing a large volume of water. This displacement generates a series of powerful waves that can travel long distances across the ocean. When these waves reach shallow coastal areas, they can increase in height and cause devastating flooding and destruction.
How is an earthquake related to a tsunami?
Tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes that occur on the ocean floor. Tsunamis are also referred to as Seismic Sea Waves

Which waves of water is caused by an earthquake under the ocean?
tsunami
What is the name of the tidal wave that can occur after a earthquake?
Such waves have nothing to do with tides. The preferred term is tsunami.

What happens when tsunami erupts?
Nothing . . . tsunamis are ocean waves, not volcanoes.
How do scientist monitor tsunami waves?
From space and ocean Like measurements
What are the mechanisms involved in the formation of Tsunamis?
A tsunami is caused by an earthquake in side the ocean causing big waves and forming a tsunami.
