How tsunami are generated?
when there is a earthquake or landslide underwater
How was the Thailand tsunami generated?
The Thailand tsunami in 2004 was generated by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. The earthquake caused a rupture in the ocean floor, displacing a large volume of water which then produced the tsunami waves that hit Thailand and other countries in the region.
What year did the tsunami occur in Tahiti?
In 2010 Haiti experienced a strong earthquake but there was NO TSUNAMI.
What is the maximum amount of warning time the village can expect if a tsunami is generated at the subduction zone?
Ocean Village is about 500 miles from a subduction zone which has the potential of producing a tsunami generating earthquake. What is the maximum amount of warning time the village can expect if a tsunami is generated at that subduction zone?
What is the medium for a tsunami?
A tsunami is typically generated by the displacement of a large volume of water, usually from undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. The medium through which a tsunami travels is water, specifically ocean water.
What is a tsunami and how is it generated?
A Tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake.

What is generated by the vertical displacement of the seafloor?
A Tsunami?

What is Hsu-nami?
Probably "tsunami" misspelled. A tsunami is an ocean wave generated by a submarine earthquake, volcano or landslide.

What are a series of large waves generated in the ocean by an earthquake landslide or volcanic activity?
A tsunami.

How are tsunami waves generated from sea bed?
Most tsunamis are generated from earthquakes at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slide under another. During an earthquake at such a location, the subducting plate slips forward and part of it is thrust upwards, displacing the column of water above it. This displacement of water is what becomes the tsunami.
What is a large wave created by some earthquakes?
A large wave created by some earthquakes is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are generated by the displacement of water caused by underwater seismic activity, leading to the formation of powerful and destructive ocean waves.
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.
