A Tidal wave is just that... A wave caused by shifting tides... AKA the moon/sun's gravity literally pulling the water away from the earth.
A Tsunami is displacement of water, you are partially correct, the water does rise, but the entire ocean simply does not. And even then, it is nothing more than a MASSIVE ripple. Tsunami = the displacement of water.
A Tidal Wave is nothing more than the waves hitting the beach repeatedly. Some are bigger than others, some are MASSIVE, just like the one in this video. However, Tidal waves are not deadly. Tsunamis are.
Actually, most Tsunamis are a maximum of a few meters tall. The problem with Tsunamis is that the water literally rushes inland, at great speeds, and then retreats back into the ocean. The power behind Tsunamis, along with the fact that they are capable of pulling people back out to sea, makes them deadly.
Tidal waves may be much "bigger", as in the swell may be taller than a Tsunami, but a Tidal Wave is not backed by millions of gallons of water, whereas Tsunamis are.
@rematchsixsix Oh, I think I get it now. Cause I've seen some pretty huge tidal wave engulfing a few people & then they just disappear. & I've seen them be pretty damaging to house along the shorelines. Thanks for that lesson, ha.
Media Concepts: This wave has movement. Watch it build. Notice as he descends down the mountain of water, the line he cuts tells the story of speed, danger and sex appeal.
its not fake dumbasse's maybe they were just filming the surfer and this massive wave apears with them and im pretty shore the boat went cause of the massive wave you wouldn't just stay there, maybe a helicopter or a zoomed in shot!
FAKE!! At the beginning you hear the sound of a boat making the streaks in the water, and the camera angle was slanted to make it seem like it was a huge wave building up. Then it blended in with a regular wave. You can do these tricks with Sony Vegas software!
