In a tsunami, matter primarily consists of water, which is displaced by seismic activity such as underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. This displacement generates waves that travel across the ocean at high speeds. The energy in a tsunami is kinetic energy derived from the movement of the water, which can be immense, especially as the waves approach shallow coastal areas and increase in height. Additionally, potential energy is stored in the elevated water column, which is released as the tsunami crashes onto shore, causing significant destruction.
What else can I help you with?
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 happens to the energy from tsunami after that tsunami strikes land?
The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.The energy dissipates, meaning that as the wave breaks, it will eventually convert to heat.
Can a hurricane form a tsunami?
No. Hurricanes generate large waves, but tsunamis are a completely different matter.
How soon can a tsunami appear after a tsunami?
There are tsunamis and there are tsunami trains. A tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake. A new tsunami has to wait for a new earthquake. It is not uncommon for any earthquake to be followed by one or more aftershocks within a matter of hours or days, so a new tsunami can result similarly. Since earthquake behavior is notoriously unpredictable, so is tsunami generation. A single tsunami results in a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours. This is called the tsunami "wave train". There is more information in the related links.
What objects can't be destroyed?
Matter can neither be created or destroyed, the same goes for energy
What does a tsunami stop?
A tsunami will stop when it runs out of energy.
Why did Japan tremors not produce a tsunami?
A tsunami requires a lot of energy to produce. Tremors do not have enough force to bring about a tsunami.
Can you harness energy from tsunami tides?
yes

Do you measure a tsunami in voltages?
What you're probably thinking of is the ML scale which measures "potential energy" of the tsunami. Don't get this confused with electrical potential (or voltage). they are not the same. the "potential energy" of a tsunami, I would assume, would be measured in joules.
Do tsunami waves contain huge energy?
Yes
What is the Difference between wave and tsunami?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
What is the difference between tsunami - seismic wave?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
Is a tsunami a renewable energy source?
No. tsunamis are too rare and too powerful to use for energy.
Is a tornado stronger or a tsunami stronger?
A tsunami is stronger, buth in terms of energy released and destructive potential. Both can cause total devstation, but a tsunami can do so over a muchlarger area.
Is energy a element compound or a mixture?
None of these. It is energy. It is not matter. But according to the law of relativity, energy can be converted into matter.
How tall does a tsunami have to be to have an effect?
it doesn't matter how big it is it will always do damage like in japan
