The PBS Newshour article Scientists discover big storms can create ‘stormquakes’ says:
A stormquake is more an oddity than something that can hurt you, because no one is standing on the sea floor during a hurricane, said Wenyuan Fan, a Florida State University seismologist who was the study’s lead author.
The combination of two frightening natural phenomena might bring to mind “Sharknado ,” but stormquakes are real and not dangerous.
“This is the last thing you need to worry about,” Fan told The Associated Press.
Storms trigger giant waves in the sea, which cause another type of wave. These secondary waves then interact with the seafloor — but only in certain places — and that causes the shaking, Fan said. It only happens in places where there’s a large continental shelf and shallow flat land.
Unfortunately the article does not link to or identify the published study.
Question: Are there more technical terms or clarifications for the following items?
- storm-triggered giant waves
- another type of wave (secondary waves)
- "certain places"
