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

Re: Hurricane Mathew: The Hit From The Caribbean, To The United States In Photos. by Explorers(op): 9:22pm On Oct 06, 2016

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.

People along the East Coast are flocking to pick up sandbags, raiding hardware stores, grocery aisles and gas stations as Hurricane Matthew marched toward Florida.

Residents are filling sandbags in 90 degree weather in preparation for the approaching hurricane as even the little ones get in on the act.
