as the water becomes more shallow the wave becomes bigger then once it peaks, its usually on land and collapses
True. Waves carry water towards the shore by transporting energy from the open ocean to the coastal areas.
Tsunamis near the shore can be much higher than average waves because they are caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides, resulting in a massive displacement of water. This leads to a large wave with a much greater amplitude compared to normal waves.
No. Tidal gauges only measure water levels.
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
A lake typically freezes from the shore towards the middle. As the water closer to the shore is shallower and cools more quickly, ice forms there first before spreading towards the deeper middle of the lake.
it damages the shore because the water is very powerfull
The tsunamis could carry the fish on to the shore and die.
True. Waves carry water towards the shore by transporting energy from the open ocean to the coastal areas.
Well, tsunamis are the effect of an earthquake underwater. When two tectonic plates collide or rub against each other, earthquakes occur. So, when it's underwater, tons of water is rushed towards the shore, and a tsunami occurs.
Tsunamis can affect marine life by moving their habitats. For instance, if the water a fish is in move to shore, then the fish will move with it.
Higher near shore. The land is denser than the water so the wave is higher.

The tide

The tsunamis are finished for now; most of the water that went inland on Japan's North shore is in the process of receeding.
If you have received a warning from some believable source that a tsunami is likely, move away from the shore, and seek higher ground.
