earthquakes and volcanic eruption
the earthquakes had shaken the earth causing the water to move past water level. At fist the tsunamis starts to move farther away from the shore line picking up more & more water as it goes along. Then when it is as far as it can go it rises and rises till its at its maximum height. Then the water starts moving back to the shore line rapidly. It goes past and the wave is in the air above thousands of people and their city. Then comes the down fall. All that water then lands and then starts moving back towards the ocean in that deraction. This is when all the damage happeens. The water is moving ver fast and tearing down anything in its way. (i.e. tress, houses, building & even people get dragged back and start to drown in the deep wave. Once the water returns to the ocean the tsunami is at rest but the destruction will need endless repairs.

What is the term for a water wave that creates an underwater earthquake?
When an underwater earthquake displacing a large volume of sea water the effect could be a tsunami (tidal wave).
When is a tsunami produced?
A tsunami is produced by a sudden and significant displacement of water, often caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. This displacement creates a series of powerful waves that can travel across the ocean at high speeds, causing devastation when they reach coastal areas.
What is needed to form a tsunami?
A tsunami is typically formed by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide that displaces a large volume of water. The sudden displacement of water creates powerful waves that can travel long distances and cause destruction when they reach the shoreline.
What happens underwater to cause a tsunami?
The most common underwater causes of tsunami are earthquakes and volcanoes. The event causes a large column of water to be displaced and moved out from the source. See the related question about the causes of tsunami for more detail about this question and about other causes of tsunami that may not start underwater.
Is an earthquake always followed by a tsunami?
No not always only when the earthquake is off shore if it is on land then there isn't a tsunami. What happens is if the earthquake is off shore it causes a little mountain form and the water that was once in the space that the mountain now takes up creates a wave that gradually picks up more water then more speed and there you have it: A tsunami
What iz quatic?
Quatic is when the ocean's currents get gigantic and creates a tsunami.
How does an earthquake affect a tsunami?
A earthquake can push the plates underwater and be forced up quckily.This pushes the water up rapidly and creates a tsunami.
What is it called when the earths plate go under the ocean and spread out?
it creates a tsunami
What is the term for a water wave that creates an underwater earthquake?
When an underwater earthquake displacing a large volume of sea water the effect could be a tsunami (tidal wave).
What does subduction?
Physically, a subduction zone creates a trench in the ocean. As an active event, a subduction creates an earth quake and possibly a tsunami (depending on how much water was displaced).
Does it rain when there is tsunami?
it is unrelated. a tsunami happens when the tectonic plates under the seabed moves and creates a hole. this movement creates a difference in pressure and hence the water goes in inside the hole. as the pressure builds in inside the hole, a large body of water bursts out. That is a tsunami rain happens when the water vapor in the cloud is too much and because of condensation, the water vapor drops as rain. it is unrelated.
What is the difference between a tsunmi and an earthquake?
the difference between a tsunami and an earth quake is an earthquake is when the tectonic plates collide in some form a tsunami is an underwater earthquake that creates a huge tidal wave. that is very basic but i hope it helps!
What creates a powerful tsunami?
A powerful earthquake. Earth quakes are caused when the 'plates' of earth shift and one gets pushe under the other.
Are tsunami predictable?
It depends on what exactly you mean by predictable. If you mean is it possible to predict when a tsunami will happen, then the answer is negative. Tsunami are most commonly caused by seismic activity of tectonic plates, which creates a sudden, violent displacement of water. This means that to predict a tsunami, one must first be able to predict the earthquake, which, at the present time, is not possible. If you mean if it is possible to predict the behaviour of a tsunami, then the answer is yes. Tsunami follow set equations of wave behaviour, and therefore elements such as speed, height, wave period etc can be found and modelled.
When is a tsunami produced?
A tsunami is produced by a sudden and significant displacement of water, often caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. This displacement creates a series of powerful waves that can travel across the ocean at high speeds, causing devastation when they reach coastal areas.
What is a suenome?
i believe you mean tsunami and that is when an underwater earthquake or eruption occurs and creates massive wave action that rises above the sealevel as it nears the shoreline.
What is the term for an water wave created by an earthquake?
its called a tsunami
