Tsunami's are different in the sense that they are caused by MASSIVE underwater movement in the earth's crust. After the shift, a whirlpool with the strength of hundreds of tons is formed and is pushed upwards towards the surface into the form of a tsunami. A Tidal wave is caused by overlaping sea waves that bundle up over time from an event similar to an earthquake (but not an earthquake), and form into a monstrosity that can tip boats and even ships.
Tsunamis are not called Tidal waves anymore, as tsunamis are not affected by the tides. Tides do not affect how strong or tall the tsunamis are and that is why tsunamis are not commonly called tidal waves anymore because the word 'tidal' is misleading.
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
They are very different. Tidal waves are waves created by the gravitational pull of the moon, where tsunamis are created by an event such as an earthquake. Tsunamis can be very destructive. Both are made of water, there are not very many similarities between them.
Another name for a tidal wave is a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
No, tidal waves are not the same as regular ocean waves. Tidal waves are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, leading to the rise and fall of the ocean level. Regular ocean waves are caused by the wind transferring energy to the water's surface.
Tsunamis are giant tidal waves.
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.

No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
no it is caused by earthquakes
dey aint
Tsunamis or 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.
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.
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Tsunamis or Tidal Waves can happen on any country that borders a Sea or an Ocean.
