Don't worry, it was medicinal. Over on . The Tonight Show , Rachel Maddow stopped by to teach Jimmy Fallon how to make The Millionaire -- in honor of Donald Trump 's run for president. Best quote: I have to tell you, it is a terrible drink. It isn't tasty.
Seismic waves are waves produced by earthquakes. This occurs when rocks under the earth suddenly break or explode. There are two MAIN TYPES of seismic waves called body waves and surface waves. Body waves have the capacity to travel through the Earth's inner layers. They have a higher frequency and they are the ones that first occur under water at the onset of an earthquake.
A tsunami is a large ocean wave usually caused by an underwater earthquake or a volcanic explosion. Tsunamis are NOT tidal waves. Tidal waves are caused by the forces of the moon, sun, and planets upon the tides, as well as the wind as it moves over the water. With typical waves, water flows in circles, but with a tsunami, water flows straight. This is why tsunamis cause so much damage!
