The second wave in a tsunami can be larger than the first due to the complex nature of wave dynamics and the interactions of multiple waves generated by the initial disturbance. As the tsunami travels across the ocean, waves can constructively interfere, amplifying certain waves, which can lead to larger subsequent waves. Additionally, the seafloor topography and coastal features can focus and amplify the wave energy, resulting in larger waves upon reaching shore. Variations in underwater geological activity can also contribute to increasing the energy and height of subsequent waves.

How does a tidal wave differ from a tsunami?
tsunami are bigger and stronger
How many wave were there in the Japanese tsunami?
The Japanese tsunami of 2011 had just one primary wave, which caused widespread devastation along the coast of Japan.
What makes a wave bigger in a tsunami?
A tsunami wave becomes bigger primarily due to the displacement of a large volume of water, typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. The energy from these events generates waves that can travel across the ocean at high speeds. As the tsunami approaches shallower coastal waters, the wave height increases dramatically due to the conservation of energy and the decreasing water depth, causing the wave to slow down and grow taller. Additionally, the geography of the coastline can amplify the wave, leading to even larger impacts.

When was the first recorded tsunami?
Do you mean the first wave of the recent Japanese tsunami? If so, the first wave struck late on Thursday night.

Is a title wave bigger than a soonamy?
Tidal waves aren't bigger than tsunami's, as tidal waves are frequently smaller than a person, let alone higher than their knees. Tsunami's on the other hand have sufficient water to flood cities and states.
Is the first wave in a tsunami wave train the largest?
no it is not the largest.
What wave is longer than a microwaves?
tsunami
Is evrey wave a tsunami?
No, every wave is not a harbor wave or popularly called Tsunami. Tsunamis have heir wavelength much longer than normal sea waves.
How is a tsunami wave detected?
A tsunami wave can be detected by a wave gauge and pressure monitors.
Is the tsunami wave stronger than the hurricane?
Yes, the tsunami wave is stronger than the hurricane. The tsunami wave is a huge pile of water that can travel on land like one of the tsunami wave hit the states of Hawaii on march 11, 2010 off the west coast of the United States after Japan earthquake. Hurricanes are strong enough to blow houses, vehicles and boats away but then have to go back to the water to get more strength but the tsunami wave just continue traveling without having to go back to the water. The tsunami wave is much stronger than the hurricane and it is big enough to crush the whole entire building.
