Do tsunami waves occur in the middle of the ocean?
Tsunami waves can occur in the middle of the ocean as a result of undersea earthquakes or landslides. These waves may not be as noticeable in open ocean areas due to their long wavelengths, but they can build up in height and strength as they approach coastal areas.
What was the height of the tsunami in Japan 2011?
The Tsunami waves were around 10 meters (33 feet) high.AdditionallyThe tsunami waves were as high as 40.5 meters (133 ft) in Miyako.The tsunami was so powerful its waves traveled the entire Pacific ocean and were felt from the coasts of Alaska to that of Chile
What are powerful seismic waves that begin as an ocean floor earthquake that can reach 30 meters in height when approaching land and can cause destruction in coastal areas?
A tsunami
Why doesn't a tsunami wave break?
Tsunami waves have a much longer wavelength in proportion to their height than ordinary waves do. They are often miles long.
The water displaced by a strong earthquake on the ocean floor forms large waves called?
tsunamis. These waves travel across the ocean at high speeds and can cause devastating impacts when they hit coastlines.

Which waves of water is caused by an earthquake under the ocean?
tsunami
What are powerful seismic waves that begin as an ocean floor earthquake that can reach 30 meters in height when approaching land and can cause destruction in coastal areas?
A tsunami
A tsunami can occur when there is vertical movement at a fault under?
A tsunami can occur when there is vertical movement at a fault under the ocean floor, displacing a large volume of water. This displacement generates a series of powerful waves that can travel long distances across the ocean. When these waves reach shallow coastal areas, they can increase in height and cause devastating flooding and destruction.

Tsunami waves have a much longer wavelength in proportion to their height than ordinary waves do. They are often miles long.

What happens when tsunami erupts?
Nothing . . . tsunamis are ocean waves, not volcanoes.
How do scientist monitor tsunami waves?
From space and ocean Like measurements
What is the height of Japan's tsunami in 2011?
The earthquake generated tsunami on March 11, 2011 produced waves that surpassed four story buildings, or more than 40 feet, as witnessed in Shizugawa and elsewhere near Japan's coast. The tsunami was so powerful its waves traveled the entire Pacific ocean and were felt from the coasts of Alaska to that of Chile.
What are the mechanisms involved in the formation of Tsunamis?
A tsunami is caused by an earthquake in side the ocean causing big waves and forming a tsunami.
How does the speed and wave height vary according to the depth of the ocean when there is a tsunami?
In deep ocean water, the speed of a tsunami can exceed 500 mph but the wave height may be only a few feet. As the tsunami approaches shallow water and the sea floor rises, the speed decreases while the wave height increases significantly. This is why tsunamis can cause devastating flooding and destruction when they reach the coastline.
