What is the difference between seismograph and tsunami?
A seismograph is an instrument used to measure seismic waves in the earth's crust. In other words a seismograph detects earthquakes. A tsunami occurs when there is an earthquake at sea. The earthquake causes colossal tidal waves to form and the waves crash onto shore. This is a tsunami.
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 type of wave can be generated by underwater earthquakes?
Underwater earthquakes can generate seismic waves, including primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. These waves can travel through the Earth and water, causing tsunamis on the ocean's surface.
Is Tsunami a city in Japan?
No, Tsunami is not a city in Japan. A tsunami is a natural disaster caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that lead to massive sea waves. Tsunami waves can cause significant damage to coastal areas.
Is tsunami a place?
Yes, Tsunami is a place as well as being a tidal wave within the continent of Asia.
What are the waves that are made by earthquakes?
tsunami
What are the huge waves that can develop from undersea earthquakes?
tsunami
If an earthquake happens under the ocean it causes giant waves called?
These waves are called "Tsunami" Note , Earthquakes CAN cause giant waves (not all sub sea earthquakes do this). Note also that there are other causes of Tsunami.
What are the large waves called that sweep up on land that are caused by earthquakes?
tsunami
How does a earthquakes place affect tsunamis?
when the techtonic plates move, they can make an earthquake, that then may trigger techtonic plates to move and begin waves that become a tsunami
Earthquakes can cause large damaginig ocean waves known by what Japanese name?
tsunami
What causes huge waves to slam into japans coastal towns?
Tsunami are caused by earthquakes.
How strong was the Tsunami?
The tsunami doesn't have a rating of strength like the earthquakes do but their were 20 to maybe30 foot waves racing in and through Japan
