What's the difference between Tsunami and Hurricane? @Explorer

Tsunami can also be referred to as a seismic sea wave, 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 of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, meteorite impact sand other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.


Earthquake or Landslide triggers Tsunami most of the time. The deadliest occurred 2004 in Indonesia, killed over 250,000.



Hurricane/Typhoon are the same kind of heavy rotating storm system that produces strong wind and heavy rain.

It forms over large bodies of warm water(ocean).

In addition to strong winds and rain, tropical cyclones/hurricane are capable of generating high waves, damaging Storm surge, and tornadoes. They typically weaken rapidly over land where they are cut off from their primary energy source. For this reason, coastal regions are particularly vulnerable to damage from a tropical cyclone as compared to inland regions. Heavy rains, however, can cause significant flooding inland, and storm surges canproduce extensive coastal flooding up to 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the coastline.

Survive that

Lol......Pray it wont come like hurricane Katrina.

Check that video and see if anyone will survive that, it killed over a thousand in the United states(Mississippi esp).
