Question

which has more energy, a tsunami (left) or a normal ocean wave (right)? tsunami normal ocean wave

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A tsunami is a large - scale, powerful wave generated by significant geological events like earthquakes or landslides. It has a much greater volume of water in motion compared to a normal ocean wave. The energy of a wave is related to the mass of water it displaces and its speed. Tsunamis can travel long distances and carry a vast amount of energy due to their large amplitude (height) and the large quantity of water they move. Normal ocean waves are typically wind - generated and have a relatively small volume of water in each wave cycle and lower energy compared to tsunamis.

Answer:

tsunami
