Compare and contrast flood and tsunamis.  (1 point)

Responses

Both floods and tsunamis are caused by large storms that form over the ocean.  However, tsunamis are always much larger than floods.

Both floods and tsunamis can cause large impacts with destructive amounts of water.  However, a flood is a giant ocean wave created by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  A tsunami is a large amount of water on land that's normally dry.

Both floods and tsunamis involve large amounts of water causing destructive impacts, but they differ in their nature and causes. Floods are usually caused by heavy rainfall or overflowing rivers, leading to an inundation of water on land. Tsunamis, on the other hand, are giant ocean waves triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides. Tsunamis are typically much larger in scale and can travel across oceans at high speeds, while floods are more localized events.
