DevinTsunamis and earthquakes are geological phenomena caused by the movement of the Earth's plates, while weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time. Tsunamis are triggered by underwater disturbances like earthquakes, which displace water, while earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust.

What weather happens before a tsunami?
No weather in particular. Tsunamis are completely unrelated to the weather. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes, which are not weather, but the triggering earthquake may be too far away to be felt.
Is a tsunami a type of weather?
No, a tsunami is not considered a type of weather. It is a series of large ocean waves usually caused by a sudden disturbance, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or underwater landslide. Tsunamis are geological phenomena and not related to typical weather patterns.
Why are earthquakes tsunamis and volcanoes not weather?
Weather describes to processes, phenomena, and patterns that relate primarily to the atmosphere and chiefly involve air. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis are the result of processes that come from within the earth and chiefly involve rocks and minerals.
Is a tsunami geology related or weather related?
Since tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes they are geology related.
Are tsunamis a localized weather phenomenon?
No, tsunamis are not a localized weather phenomenon. They are large ocean waves usually caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Tsunamis can travel across entire ocean basins and affect coastlines thousands of miles away from their source.
