What is the difference between seismograph and tsunami?
A seismograph is an instrument used to measure seismic waves in the earth's crust. In other words a seismograph detects earthquakes. A tsunami occurs when there is an earthquake at sea. The earthquake causes colossal tidal waves to form and the waves crash onto shore. This is a tsunami.
What is the difference between seismic wave and tsunami?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of large ocean waves caused by displacement of water, often triggered by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves originate within the Earth, while tsunamis occur on the ocean's surface.
Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond. What is the major difference between the two?
The energy source of tsunami waves is much greater The energy source of Tsunami waves is much greater
What kind of a wave is caused by an seismic activity?
Seismic activity generates seismic waves. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface (Love waves and Rayleigh waves).
What is the seismic wave that travels really fast?
The seismic wave that travels really fast is the primary or P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are the first waves recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.
What are seismic waves called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
What are seismic waves also called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.

What natural occurrence is most similar to a tsunami?
Tidal waves and seismic sea waves were used earlier for the same thing as a tsunami.

The energy source of tsunami waves is much greater The energy source of Tsunami waves is much greater
What are seismic waves and what information information do they give about earthquakes?
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
What's the difference between tsunami and tidal wave?
There is not any difference between tidal waves and tsunamis, except for that cyclones are high waves accompanied with heavy rain wheras tsunamis are only waves.
Why don't we call tsunamis ''seismic waves''?
Because a seismic wave is something else. Seismic waves are waves sent through the earth as part of the earthquake itself. A tsunami is an ocean wave generated by water being displaced.
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
What kind of a wave is caused by an seismic activity?
Seismic activity generates seismic waves. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface (Love waves and Rayleigh waves).
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the?
The difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
