A megatsunami is a tsunami a large wave due to displacement of a body of water with an initial waveamplitude height measured in several tens hundreds or possibly thousands of metres.
Large wave produced by an earthquake on the ocean floor.
Earthquakes volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
Tsunami waves do not resemble normal u.
A tsunami is a series of large waves generated by an abrupt movement on the ocean floor that can result from an earthquake an underwater landslide a volcanic eruption or very rarely a large.
This sudden motion could be an earthquake a powerful volcanic eruption or an underwater landslide.
Unlike normal ocean waves which are generated by wind or tides which are generated by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water.
The ocean floor does nothing itself but to cause the tsunami an earthquake.
Seismic sea wave tsunami a large ocean wave that often results from vertical displacement of the ocean floor during an earthquake.
A large wave produced by an earthquake on the ocean floor.
Longshore drift the movement of water and sediment down a beach caused by waves coming in to shore at an angle.
A large wave formed by the displacement of water which was caused by an earthquake on the ocean floor.
Tsunami a large ocean wave caused by earthquakes on the ocean floor.
The impact of a large meteorite could also cause a tsunami.
A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water generally in an ocean or a large lake.
