What else can I help you with?
Water is moved toward shore by a wave true or false?
True. Waves carry water towards the shore by transporting energy from the open ocean to the coastal areas.
Near the shore tsunamis are higher or lower than average waves?
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.
Can coastal tidal gauges stop tsunamis close to shore?
No. Tidal gauges only measure water levels.
What causes tsunamis floods?
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
Does a lake freeze fom middle to shore or from shore to middle?
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.
Why do tsunamis do their damage on shore?
it damages the shore because the water is very powerfull
How do tsunamis effect ocean life?
The tsunamis could carry the fish on to the shore and die.

How tsunamis effect an earthquake?
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.
Do tsunamis affect marine life?
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.
Where are tsunamis higher in the middle of the ocean or near shore?
Higher near shore. The land is denser than the water so the wave is higher.
Near the shore tsunamis are higher or lower than average waves?
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.

What is the name of the ocean current that moved the shoes from the boat to the shore?
The tide
What causes tsunamis floods?
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
When will the tsunami stop in Japan?
The tsunamis are finished for now; most of the water that went inland on Japan's North shore is in the process of receeding.
What can you do to prepare for tsunamis?
If you have received a warning from some believable source that a tsunami is likely, move away from the shore, and seek higher ground.
