The only way humans could possibly be responsible for a tsunami is if they set off about 20 atomic bombs at the bottom of the sea. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to cause a tsunami like a large earthquake or an underwater volcano erupting. Clearly their is no way to prove this was act wrath of God or Mother-nature it takes hydrogen vapor to produce such tremendous force. Water produces h30 one in a million molecules, now imagine a ripple effect of a million of these little guys. Now don't forget there are satellites orbiting the earth's atmosphere anyone with access to these toys at the right tectonic plate could cause devastating damage.....

∙ 14y agoMost tsunami are caused by an initial earthquake (the earthquake is the trigger) but it is possible for a tsunami to happen without the involvement of an earthquake. For instance if an asteroid were to impact the ocean this would generate a tsunami; a landslip can cause a tsunami as can a sea floor slump.

∙ 13y agoThey are not responsible for the Earthquakes themselves. However, some can be held partially responsible for the deaths that are caused through poor construction. Although now, most buildings in cities prone to earthquakes are 'life safe' so few (in theory) are killed. This was proved in the San Francisco earthquake of 1989 where only about 70 people were killed in a quake that measured 6.9 on the Richter scale. However in Haiti, the quake they received on 12th of January 2010 was a 7.0 on the Richter scale, although this caused over 200,000 deaths compared to San Francisco.

Do tsunamis have weather geologic or humans cause?
Tsunamis are geologic in origin. Typically they are triggered by earthquakes, but other causes can include landslides and volcanic eruptions.
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
What can humans do to survive tsunamis?
thetsys
Can energy be released in an earthquake that can cause landslides and tsunamis?
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
How do hurricanes cause tsunamis and fires?
Hurricanes do not cause tsunamis. They can cause fires by breaking gas lines and causing sparks in electrical wiring.

Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
What is the effect of the earthquake?
They cause tsunamis
What effects do tsunamis have on humans?
They can cause psychological damages which are the hardest to cure. They can also cause casualties and injuries, as well as illnesses to humans. dont forget the loss of life either you cant get over that ....
Why all tsunamis don't cause earthquakes?
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.

What are the effects of tsunami to people?
Tsunamis can cause humans to lose access to fresh water and food. This can lead to dehydration, sickness, and starvation.
Do humans have a significant role in causing tsunamis?
They don't have any role. Tsunamis are a natural phenomenon.
