Turkish - English

Definition of tsunami, denizaltı depremlerinin ortaya çıkardığı büyük dalga in Turkish English dictionary

{i} tsunami

A very large and destructive wave, generally caused by a tremendous disturbance in the ocean, such as an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption

giant sea wave produced by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions

A large and often destructive wave caused by a submarine earthquake Colloquially known as a "tidal wave"

{i} (Japanese) great sea wave caused by an underwater earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption

One or a series of huge sea waves caused by earthquakes or other large-scale disturbance of the ocean floor (Referred to incorrectly by many as a tidal wave, but these waves have nothing to do with tides ) The word tsunami is Japanese, meaning "harbor wave "

An ocean wave generated by a submarine earthquake, volcano or landslide (Also known as a seismic sea wave, and incorrectly as a tidal wave)

A Japanese term which has been universally adopted to describe a large seismically generated sea wave which is capable of considerable destruction in certain coastal areas, especially where underwater earthquakes occur although in the open ocean the wave height may be less than 1 m, it steepens to heights of 15 m or more on entering shallow water They have been incorrectly referred to as tidal waves

A large, high-velocity wave generated by displacement of the sea floor (such as sudden faulting, landsliding, or volcanic activity); also called seismic sea wave Commonly misnamed TIDAL WAVE See Figure 10

A giant wave, initiated by a sudden change (usually in relative position of underwater tectonic plates) The sudden change is typically enough to propagate the wave; however, its power can be enhanced and fed by lunar positioning and boundaries that focus its energy

A sea wave produced by large-area displacements of the ocean bottom, the result of an earthquake or volcanic activity

An ocean wave generated by a submarine earthquake, volcano or landslide (Also known as a seismic seawave, and incorrectly as a tidal wave)

A Japanese term used in English to describe a giant wave produced by an earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption

A vast sea wave caused by the sudden dropping or rising of a section of the sea floor following an earthquake Tsunami may be as much as 30 meters high and 200 kilometers long, may move as fast as 250 kilometers per hour, and may continue to occur for as long as a few days

wave caused by underwater earthquake or landslide, can rise to great heights and cause catastrophic damage near coasts

A seismic sea wave usually caused by a submarine earthquake A Tsunami Warning is generally automatically issued after an earthquake of Richter 6 8 offshore Alaska, or Richter 7 5 if offshore the western U S or British Columbia A Warning means immediate evacuation of low lying areas is required A Watch means a Warning may follow Authorities will cancel Watches and Warnings whenever sufficient information permits the decision Emergency workers and the news media must know (1) the difference between a Watch and a Warning, and (2) that a tsunami may consist of several waves over several hours It is not, repeat not, just one single wave

Large ocean wave created from an earthquake or volcanic eruption Open ocean wave height may be as high as 1 meter When entering shallow coastal waters, land configuration can amplify waves to heights of over 15 meters

A sea wave produced by large-scale, short-duration disturbance of the ocean floor such as from subsidence, an earthquake, or a volcanic eruption

A sea wave of local or distant origin that results from large-scale seafloor displacements associated with large earthquakes, major submarine slides, or exploding volcanic islands (See also Earthquake ABC's )

a huge destructive wave (especially one caused by an earthquake)

An ocean wave produced by a submarine earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption These waves may reach enormous dimensions and have sufficient energy to travel across entire oceans They proceed as ordinary gravity waves with a period between 15 and 60 minutes Tsunamis steepen and increase in height on approaching shallow water, inundating low-lying areas; and where local submarine topography causes extreme steepening, they may break and cause great damage Tsunamis have no connection with tides ; the popular name is entirely misleading
