act as a shallow water wave meaning that a waves ratio is (under 1:7). Tsunamis and tidal waves can be generated when the sea floor changes and vertically displaces the overlying sea. A tectonic earthquake is a type of earthquake that is affiliated with the crusts moving over one another. When this happens it creates a disturbance and displaces the water from its original position and creates an under water wave that eventually tries to regain its eqalibrium but creates a tsunami or tidal wave. These changes occure at large plate boundries and subduction zones in the Pacific ocean. And usally result in life treating storms that effect large ares of ocean lying land.In the ...
