Answer:
Normal ocean waves are caused by the wind, weather, tides, and currents, whereas tsunamis are powered by a geological force. Tsunami waves are surface gravity waves that are formed as the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity and radiate across the ocean like ripples on a pond.

Distinguish between
normal Waves and tsunamis waves
- Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. Out in the depths of the ocean, tsunami waves do not dramatically increase in height. But as the waves travel inland, they build up to higher and higher heights as the depth of the ocean decreases.
- What are the types of tsunami?
- Yes, there 3 types of tsunamis local, regional and distant. Local tsunamis can reach up 100km from the source of the tsunami so in this case the travel time for the tsunami is usually less than one hour.
