Is a tsunami just a water tornado?
No. A tsunami and a tornado are two completely different things. A tsunami is a large wave or series of waves usually triggered by an underwater earthquake or landslide. A tornado is a violent vortex of air that forms during a thunderstorm. A tornado that forms on water is called a waterspout.
Are there more than one warning for tsunamis like there is for a tornado?
Yes. There is a tsunami watch is issued if a tsunami may impact an area. A tsunami advisory is issued if a tsunami poses a threat to areas in or along the water. A tsunami warning is issued if a tsunami is expected to cause widespread flooding.
How does a tidal wave differ from a tsunami?
tsunami are bigger and stronger
What is tornado air pressure?
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.
What is worse a tsunami or a tornado and why?
How bad a tsunami or tornado is varies between individual events, but tsunamis are generally worse. While the worst damage of a tornado is usually limited to a small area, a tsunami can easily decimate hundreds of miles of coastline. The worst winds of a tornado usually only affect a given spot for a few seconds. Footage of the 2011 tsunami in Japan show that, in some places, water surged inland for as long as 15 minutes and took even longer to recede. Additionally, water is much denser than air and so can carry much more force. In a tornado you will probably escape harm if you have a few walls to shield you from the wind and debris. In a tsunami, even if you are not injured by the force of the water and debris, you can still drown.
Is a tsunami stronger than a tornado?
In terms of overall energy output, a tsunamis is generally stronger. Outside of that, it is difficult to compare the two.
Is a tornado stronger or a tsunami stronger?
A tsunami is stronger, buth in terms of energy released and destructive potential. Both can cause total devstation, but a tsunami can do so over a muchlarger area.
Is a tsunami stronger tornado?
The two are a comparable as apples and oranges. Other than toting up the amount of kilojoules release by each, there is no way to compare the strength of a tsunami and a tornado. The two are quite unrelated. A tornado is a strong whirlwind. A tsunami is a powerful wave in the ocean, usually caused by earthquakes.
Is a tsunami stronger then a tornado?
In terms of overall energy output and destructive potential, yes.
Would you rather ride a tsunami OR ride a tornado?
a tsunami for sure, a tornado is just going to throw me to the united states, riding a tsunami has better chances of living than a tornado
Is a tsunami stronger than earthquake?
Earthquake
Is a typhoon stronger than a tsunami?
They are both as strong
Who will win tornado or tsunami?
Niether. In the unlikely event that a tornado and a tsunami met, the tornado would go right over the tsunami and neither would be significantly affected.
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Has there ever been an F7 tornado?
No. No tornado stronger than F5 has ever been recorded.
Is a tornado bigger than a tsunami?
No. A tornado is at most 2.5 miles wide and only a handful have been observed at over 2 miles. A tsunami, by contrast, can impact a shoreline thousands of miles long.
Is a tsunami larger than a tornado?
In terms of area of effect, yes. A tsunami may impact hundreds or thousands of miles of coastline as a tsunami spreads across the ocean like ripples on a pond. By contrast a tornado is limited to a damage path that is rarely more than a mile wide or more than 20 miles long.
