Question

Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond. What is the major difference between the two?
a.

The frequency of tsunami waves is much greater

c.

The energy source of tsunami waves is much greater
b.

The medium of tsunami waves is more dense

d.

Tsunami waves are compression waves, ripples are transverse waves

Answer 1

c. The energy source of tsunami waves is much greater

Explanation:

The major difference between a tsunami waves and ripple waves is that the energy source of tsunami waves is much greater compared to ripple waves.

Tsunami waves carry more energy compared to just a disturbance resulting from a ripple caused by dropping of a stone.

• A tsunami is a large water wave caused by the displacement of water usually by an earthquake.
• An earthquake is a releases elastic waves suddenly within the earth crust.
• Water bodies at the epicenter are disturbed sending huge volume of energetic water loads to the land.
• A ripple is just a product of a stone dropped inside the water.

Tsunamis are more energetic compared to ripples in water.
