Difference between the tidal wave and large wave?

Not all large waves are tidal waves Tidal waves are associated with earthquakes True tidal waves are caused by tide

Where is the greatest tidal range located?

Occurs in Bay of Fundy. Semi diurnal macrotidal

What is the difference between spring and neap tides?

Spring tides are very high and very low Neap Tides not very high or low When the moon is in line with the sun it has the greatest attraction and creates a spring tide

Can you use tidal current to generate power?

Yes

Wave

disturbance caused by the movements of energy through a movement

What happens to a waves as it gets it gets closer to shore?

When a deep water wave reaches shallow water it is going to reach a depth where the circular orbitals drags along the wave The crest peaks the wave breaks.

Seismic sea wave

tsunami

Does a tsunami come ashore as a single wave? A series of waves? Does a tsunami wave break like a surfing wave?

tsunami typically come ashore as a series of wave at regular intervals. DOES NOT BREAK LIKE A SURFING WAVE

How is a tidal bore created?

A tidal bore, often simply given as bore in context, is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travels up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river or bay's current.

How is a tidal bore created?

A tidal bore, often simply given as bore in context, is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travels up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river or bay's current. Tidal bores are true tidal waves

What causes tsunami's? Do all geological displacements cause tsunami's

Earthquake and volcanoes cause tsunamis causes tsunamis NO DEPENDS ON INTENSITY

Which lunar phase produces moderate tides?

If the lunar perigee occurs when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, it produces unusually high Spring high tides. When it occurs on the opposite side from the Earth that where the Sun is located ( during full moon) it produces unusually low, Neap Tides.

What has the greatest tidal effect?

The moon has a greater tidal effect. The sun is farther away so has less effect.

What do you call the region where the wave breaks?

The surf zone

What is the wave height of a typical tsunami away from land? Are tsunami dangerous in the open sea?

They are about 1-2 ft above average sea level, not dangerous in open ocean.

Is a tsunami a shallow water wave or a deep water wave?

Tides and tsunamis are shallow-water waves, even in the deep ocean.

What is a tide?

Tides are periodic short term changes in ocean surface height. Tides are forces waves by gravity and inertia the alternate rising and falling of the sea, usually twice in each lunar day at a particular place, due to the attraction of the moon and sun. Periodic changes in the ocean's surface because of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun and the rotation of the earth

Tsunami

long wavelength shallow water wave caused by rapid displacement of water

How fast does a tsunami move?

over 800 km per hour (500 miles per hour)
