Another name for a tidal wave is a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
No, there was no tsunami during the destruction of Pompeii. The city was buried under volcanic ash and pyroclastic flows following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This catastrophic event was primarily due to volcanic activity rather than seismic activity that would typically generate a tsunami. The destruction was caused by the direct impact of the eruption rather than any associated tidal waves.
Volcanic activity on the ocean floor can cause giant tidal waves known as tsunamis. These waves are typically triggered by underwater volcanic eruptions or the collapse of volcanic islands, which displace large volumes of water. When the energy from the eruption or collapse is released, it generates powerful waves that can travel across oceans at high speeds, leading to significant coastal impact upon reaching land.
A tsunami is a series of powerful ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When these events displace a large volume of water, it creates a ripple effect that can grow into massive waves when it reaches shallow coastal areas, causing widespread destruction and flooding.

i need HELP!!
huge tidal waves caused by the eruption
Krakatoa (or Krakatau) had a volcanic eruption in 1883
Yes. People sometime die in volcano eruptions, such as the eruptions of Mt. St. He lens in Washington state in 1980. and the city of Pompeii, which was buried under ash from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. People are killed by the ash, the lava, the poison gas, the landslides, and earthquakes, and the hot temperatures that a volcanic eruption can have. Thousands of people were killed by tsunamis, (tidal waves), caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia in the Pacific Ocean.
Some historians believe that a tidal wave triggered by a powerful volcanic eruption on the island of Thera was responsibile for the devastation.<--- This is incorrect the volcanic eruption may have led to the disappearance of Minoans not the Mycenaeans. Things that may have led to their destruction are: the fact that they were fighting one anuther, the major earthquakes that cause lots of damage, and the invaders that invaded them in the twelfth century B.C.

The term "tidal wave" is not well suited for tsunamis because they are caused by earthquakes or, in some cases, landslides and volcanic eruptions. The have nothing to do with the tides.

A tidal wave, or tsunami, typically occurs after a sudden disturbance in the ocean floor, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or underwater landslide. The displacement of water caused by these events creates large waves that can travel long distances at high speeds, eventually reaching coastal areas and causing flooding and damage.
The volcanic activity on Io is caused by the intense gravitational forces exerted by Jupiter and its other moons. These forces create tidal heating inside Io, leading to intense volcanic activity and a constantly changing surface.
