What is the difference between a tsunami and a hurricane?
assistant
The main difference between a tsunami and a hurricane is that a tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by a large-scale disturbance, such as an underwater earthquake, whereas a hurricane is an intense, rotating low-pressure weather system that usually forms over tropical or subtropical waters. Tsunamis are usually much more destructive than hurricanes due to the incredibly large size of their waves, which can reach up to 30 meters or higher in some cases. Hurricanes are usually much more localized, with their destructive force centered around the storm's core.
