This is known as the storm surge.

∙ 12y agoBig waves that occur during a tropical cyclone are known as storm surges. These are elevated sea levels caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure associated with the cyclone. Storm surges can result in significant coastal flooding and pose a major threat to coastal communities.

Yes, thunder and lightning can occur in a cyclone due to the intense convection and strong winds within the storm. The lightning is caused by the collision of ice particles in the clouds, and the thunder is the sound waves produced by the rapid heating and cooling of the air around the lightning strike.

Not necessarily. A heat wave refers to a prolonged period of excessively hot weather, while a tropical storm is a weather system characterized by low pressure, thunderstorms, and strong winds. The occurrence of a heat wave and a tropical storm can be independent of each other and may happen in different timeframes and locations.
A typhoon and a hurricane are the exact same kind of storm, only occurring different region. A hurricane is defined as a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph occurring in the northern hemisphere in either the Atlantic Ocean or in the Pacific Ocean east of 180 degrees. A typhoon is such a storm occurring in the northern hemisphere in the Pacific Ocean west of 180 degrees. In all other regards hurricanes and typhoons are identical. Tornadoes are a different matter. Both tornadoes and tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical storms) generate low pressure and strong winds. Air converges and rises in both. Both can be very destructive. Winds rotate about the center in a cyclonic direction; that is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern (though a small percentage of tornado rotate in the opposite direction) Both may have an eye or similar structure at the center and both get their energy from the heat released by the condensation of water vapor. That, however, is where the similarities end. To start off, a tropical cyclone is its own large-scale, self-sustaining weather system that is typically hundreds of miles across and consists of multiple storm cells and storm bands. By contrast a tornado is a small-scale weather phenomenon, usually no more than a few hundred yards across, that is powered by and is dependent on a larger parent storm cell. A tropical cyclone typically lasts a few days while most tornadoes last a few minutes, and the very longest live will, in rare cases, last a few hours. Tropical cyclones form exclusively over warm ocean water in tropical latitudes while tornadoes are more common on land and frequently occur in temperate latitudes. The rotation in a tropical cyclone comes from the Coriolis effect, a consequence of earth's spin while a tornado gets its rotation from its parent storm, which in turn comes from wind shear. A tornado's danger stems entirely from wind damage and associated debris. tropical cyclone bring the danger of severe flooding and high waves in addition to powerful winds. A tornado typically produces a condensation funnel, which is one of the distinguishing features of a tornado. Tropical cyclones do not have condensation funnels (though it should be noted that tornadoes can form during tropical cyclones) On a localized scale, tornado damage is often more severe than that from a tropical cyclone. The winds in the strongest tornadoes are far faster than those of the strongest tropical cyclones Tornadoes have a far stronger vertical component to their winds than tropical cyclones do.

Tropical cyclones may result in the formation of storm surges, which is formed by huge and heavy waves. The powerful winds of a cyclone can increase the height of the waves up to a destructive height of 10 - 20 feet. These storm surges can wash away buildings and drown people. The spiraling bands of thunderstorm in a tropical cyclone may also form tornados, which are violent, dangerous wind funnels rotating at speeds of up to 480km per hour, increasing the cyclone's power of destruction. Tornadoes can suck up or smash nearly everything it comes across.
Easterly waves are areas of low air pressure that move westward in the tropics, causing enhanced thunderstorm activity and potential for tropical cyclone development. These waves can bring increased rainfall, gusty winds, and rough seas to affected regions.

Waves can occur in any liquid. Waves can also be propagated through rock, during an earthquake, and the same mathematics that describes water waves also describes waves in electromagnetic energy such as light or radio.
Anywhere normal waves occur.
they occur i think in the plate boundarys.
Waves occur during an earthquake. When an earthquake happens, it generates seismic waves that travel outward from the point of rupture, causing the ground to shake. These waves can be detected by seismographs and can help determine the magnitude and location of the earthquake.
heat waves generally occur in the summer months of june, july, and august. the temperature generally reaches 80 degrees to 130 degrees or higher.

The lightning is caused by the collision of ice particles in the clouds, and the thunder is the sound waves produced by the rapid heating and cooling of the air around the lightning strike.
Longitudinal waves occur where the motion of the medium is parallel to the waves.
