An ordinary large wave has a short wavelength. When it reaches shore it will break wash in, and wash out in a matter of seconds.
A tsunami wave behaves in a much different way. Such waves can be hundreds of miles in wavelength. When they reach shore, they do not behave as breaking waves, but rather come in as a massive surge of water, that continues to come in for several minutes.

What are the similarities between rogue waves and tsunamis?
Rogue waves and tsunamis are both large and powerful oceanic phenomena, but they differ in their causes and characteristics. Rogue waves are isolated, exceptionally large waves that can occur in any body of water, often due to constructive interference of smaller waves. Tsunamis, on the other hand, are long-period sea waves typically generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Despite their differences, both rogue waves and tsunamis can pose significant risks to maritime activities and coastal communities due to their destructive potential.
Are tsunamis just one wave?
No, tsunamis are not just one wave. They are a series of waves caused by underwater disturbances, such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. These waves can be separated by periods of minutes to hours, with the first wave typically not being the largest.
Can hurricane winds cause a tsunami?
No, tsunamis are not related to weather at all. Tsunamis are usually caused by the deformation of the seabed, such as from an earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. Tsunamis are structurally different from wind-driven waves.
How do tsunamis accure?
Tsunamis occur when tech tonic plates under the oceans surface move and shift places causing a movement in the water and drawing all the water back, and then straight forward to the shore wiping out every thing in its path.an earthquake under the ocean accurs and makes the plates under the ocean and causes massive waves to surrounds the following countries around where the earthquake took place.^this was answered by a 13 year old.
What are the similarities between tornadoes and tsunamis?
Both tornadoes and tsunamis are violent natural disasters that can occur suddenly and with little warning and can cause catastrophic damage. Other than that they are very different phenomena.
Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.

How are tsunamis dangerous?
It was not founded, i dont think. It is just a Huge trench in the ocean FORMED naturally. tsunamis are so poopy yeah bro
How do the ocean says hi?
Usually, it just waves.

What factors that can cause development of Tsuanami?
Tectonic plates moving, earthquakes. Tsunamis tend to be a combination. Otherwise there just tidal waves.

What do tsunamis sound like?
an earthquake doesnt have a sound. its what it shakes and makes noise is the earth quake. THUS EARTH AND QUAKE if you go underground when an earthquake happens its just like someone shaking a box of rice
Why doesn't Malibu CA get tsunamis?
Malibu can get tsunamis, as can just about any location along the Pacific Ocean. Other parts of California have suffered damage from tsunamis before. It has mostly been a matter of luck that Malibu hasn't taken major damage from one in recent years.
Why is the California coast at risk from tsunamis?
An undersea earthquake, anywhere in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, is likely to effect any country whose coast borders the ocean - not just California alone.
