yes, it really just acts like a giant wave...because in essence that's what it is. The word "tsu-nami" means big wave in Japanese. It breaks just like a wave that hits the shore.
Tsunamis can occur in any country that has a coastline. Some countries that are more prone to tsunamis due to their location on tectonic plate boundaries include Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the Philippines. However, tsunamis are not limited to these countries and can potentially affect any coastal region globally.
No, tsunamis do not die down before hitting land. In fact, they can increase in height and intensity as they approach the coastline due to the shallowing of the water depth, causing the wave to rise up dramatically.
destroys homes towns nd causes many deaths
Tsunamis do not directly affect the lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's crust. However, tsunamis can be triggered by disturbances in the lithosphere, such as underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, which generate the massive waves that can cause destruction along coastlines.
No, tornados are created in strongly conflicting air masses. Tsunami are created by seismic disturbance in the earths tectonic plates. Tornadoes are meteorological in nature, tsunamis are seismic in nature.
They cause tsunamis
They actually don't. Earthquakes can effect tsunamis by causing them when they occur in the sea.
If the desert is located along a coastline it might be subject to a tsunami.
Yes, mortalities are one effect of tsunamis. Mortalities means deaths.
by water
I dosent
The tsunamis could carry the fish on to the shore and die.
No. Tsunamis are not an atmospheric phenomenon and do not have any notable effect on the atmosphere.
Any locality situated on a coastline is, theoretically, able to be affected by tsunamis. The NSW coast could easily be affected by a tsunami generated by seismic activity in New Zealand.

Tsunamis do not affect the atmosphere.
well the landis all messed up
