What is tsunami?Is there any different types of tsunami
Answers
Answer:
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.
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. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.[6] 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.
