Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?

Can tsunamis be refered to as seismic waves?
No. Seismic waves are the actual vibrations in the ground generate by an earthquake. Tsunamis are a different matter, nor are all tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
When earthquakes occur what waves do they produce?
Seismic waves and tsunamis.
What are the best characteristics of tsunamis?
waves
Are tsunamis just one wave?
No, tsunamis are not just one wave. They are a series of waves caused by underwater disturbances, such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. These waves can be separated by periods of minutes to hours, with the first wave typically not being the largest.

How are waves and tsunamis alike?
they all have to do with water.
What is the waves do the energy in earthquakes called?
tsunamis
