Giant waves produced by gravity are called?

What is the name of giant sea waves caused by earthquake?
The name of giant sea waves caused by an earthquake is a tsunami. Tsunamis can travel across oceans at high speeds, carrying massive amounts of energy that can result in significant destruction when they reach land. It is important to have early warning systems in place to help mitigate the impact of tsunamis.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
What are giant waves caused by underwater earth quakes and volcanoes are called?
Giant waves caused by underwater earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are called tsunamis. These waves are generated when there is a sudden displacement of water, typically due to tectonic activity. Tsunamis can travel across entire ocean basins and may cause devastating damage upon reaching coastal areas. Their speed and energy can make them extremely dangerous to life and property.
Did Mississippi get hit by a tsunamis fron hurricane Katrina?
No. There were large waves, but waves produce by hurricanes and other storms, not matter how big, are not tsunamis. Tsunamis are a very different type of wave.
Are Tsunamis twisting spirals of air?
Tsunamis are giant tidal waves.

What is a giant ocean wave caused by an earthquake or a severe storm?
A Tsunami, or tidal wave, or seismic sea wave may be caused by an earthquake. It is incorrect to refer to giant ocean waves caused by severe storms as tsunamis. Severe storms may cause giant ocean waves referred to as "Rogue Waves" - which are distinct from and NOT the same as Tsunamis.

Which natural disaster is caused by undersea earthquakes?
Normally undersea earthquakes causes giant waves, known as TSUNAMIS.
How do tsunamis kill?
Tsunamis are giant waves. They drown people. They also kill flora and fauna, including people, on contact. Contact from the wave itself or the debris it carries along.
What are giant tidal waves caused by volcanic activity?
Giant tidal waves caused by volcanic activity are known as tsunamis. They can occur when a volcanic eruption leads to the collapse of a volcanic island or the explosive eruption displaces a large volume of water. Additionally, underwater volcanic eruptions can generate tsunamis if they cause significant disturbances in the ocean. These tsunamis can travel across vast distances and cause devastating impacts on coastal areas.

Can tsunamis be refered to as seismic waves?
No. Seismic waves are the actual vibrations in the ground generate by an earthquake. Tsunamis are a different matter, nor are all tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
When earthquakes occur what waves do they produce?
Seismic waves and tsunamis.
