What else can I help you with?
Is it true that tsunamis are only a few feethigh in shallow water?
No. Tsunamis may only be a few centimetres high in DEEP water but as the water depth decreases the wave height increases.
Did Mississippi get hit by a tsunamis fron hurricane Katrina?
No. There were large waves, but waves produce by hurricanes and other storms, not matter how big, are not tsunamis. Tsunamis are a very different type of wave.
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.
Are tsunamis just one wave?
No, tsunamis are not just one wave. They are a series of waves caused by underwater disturbances, such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. These waves can be separated by periods of minutes to hours, with the first wave typically not being the largest.
How do tsunamis affect erosion?
A tsunami is a large wave and acts upon the coastal margin in the same way that a wave would but at an escalated level of erosion. So, more material will be carried away by the wave and greater destruction will occur. The tsunami is a short-term phenomenon.
What the differences between tsunamis and rouge waves?
a rouge wave is a wave in the ocean, and a tsunamis is a a wave made near a coast.
How many gallons of water in a tsunamis wave?
may be 1000 trillion gallons of water in a tsunamis wave
Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
The largest wave on a seismogram are?
Tsunamis
Is it true that tsunamis are only a few feethigh in shallow water?
No. Tsunamis may only be a few centimetres high in DEEP water but as the water depth decreases the wave height increases.
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.
Do people think tsunamis are tidal waves?
Some people call tsunamis tidal waves but the word tsunami means "harbor wave" (tsu=harbor, nami=wave) so tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides.
Tsunamis are different to tidal waves because?
A tsunamis has a wave that is longer in length and looks like a fast rising tide rather than a traditional wave. A tidal wave is a wave that can reach as about a hundred feet tall and will look like a normal wave.
Which wave will have the highest wave height?
For water waves, the tsunamis reach the greatest heights
What is a large wave created by an earthquake on the ocean floor?
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
A wave with high amplitude?
A wave with high amplitude has large peaks and troughs, indicating a significant amount of energy. This type of wave carries more energy than a wave with small amplitude, and can be more powerful and potentially more destructive. High-amplitude waves are often associated with phenomena like earthquakes, tsunamis, or large storm surges.
Can you give me facts about Tsunamis?
a tsunamie is a serious ocean wave
