Tsunamis are related to geology because they can occur as the result of geologic activity, such as an earth quake. When land is displaced as the result of an earthquake, the water above it is displaced as well. This displacement propagates through the body of water. As the water becomes shallower, the displaced water "piles up" and appears to those on the shore as a very, very large wave. In fact, the wave has been there all along, but it was not as visible due to the increased area for the displaced water to spread out.
What else can I help you with?
Are wildfires weather related geologic in nature or caused by humans?
Caused by humans and weather related
What is the humidity of a Tsunami?
A tsunami is a geologic event that is not affected by weather. The humidity could be anything.
Is the Indian Ocean tsunami linked to global warming?
No. The 2004 tsunami was a geologic event unrelated to weather or climate.
What was the cause of the Japanese tsunami in 2011?
An earthquake caused the tsunami!
When did Japan earthquake happen before or after the tsunami?
The Earthquake occurred before the tsunami as it is what caused the tsunami.
Is a tsunami caused by weather or by a geologic phenomenon?
Not often by weather but mostly underwater volcanic eruptions-it's a matter of opinion if you think it's just nature, or geologic phenomenon. I hope this helps!
Is a tsunami caused by the wheather nature or by humans?
Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Are wildfires weather related geologic in nature or caused by humans?
Caused by humans and weather related
Does a tsunami have a geologic effect?
no
Is the tsunami caused by man fighting against nature?
Tsunamis are natural. They have nothing to do with man.
How do you categorize a tornado as weather related geologic in nature and or caused by humans?
A tornado is categorized as weather related geologic in nature because it is a natural weather phenomenon caused by atmospheric conditions. Tornadoes are not caused by humans, so they do not fall under the category of being human-induced.
What is the humidity of a Tsunami?
A tsunami is a geologic event that is not affected by weather. The humidity could be anything.
Are floods geologic in nature?
No, floods are not geologic in nature. They are caused by a combination of natural factors like heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or dam failures, which lead to an overflow of water that can inundate land areas. Geologic events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can trigger floods, but floods themselves are not considered geologic phenomena.
Are tsunami caused by cyclones?
No, tsunami are caused by sub-oceanic earthquakes. High storm surges caused by cyclones (typhoons, hurricanes) can seem tsunami-like, but are not tsunami.
Is the Indian Ocean tsunami linked to global warming?
No. The 2004 tsunami was a geologic event unrelated to weather or climate.
Is there a season for tsunami?
No. Tsunamis are a geologic phenomenon, so they are not affected by the weather.
What is a tsunami and how is it caused?
A tsunami is a huge tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake.
