It says in my geography book: Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions under the sea.
But Im sure 'Tsunamis are formed when two oceanic plates collide' is right too, it sounds right cause theres also a diagram that shows the crust broken and moving up causing the wave to go up aswell (this is called an upward wave)

What zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
zone of subduction
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
What do you call a chain of volcanos that result from oceans colliding?
Oceans do not collide but oceanic crustal plates can collide, and when they do collide, island arcs are formed along the subduction zone.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.
Why do oceanic plates dive underneath continental plates when they collide?
this is because the oceanic plate is much denser than the continental plate so when they collide the oceanic plate will sink easily
How a trench formed?
a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide
What are formed when two oceanic plates collide?
volcanoes in an island arc
What zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
zone of subduction
What is made when oceanic plates collide?
An under water earthquake is formed causing a tsunami.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
Where does oceanic and oceanic plates collide?
When a trench or volcano comes.

When two oceanic plates collide it creates?
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser oceanic plate?
sinks
This is when two plates collide together?
Earthquake, which can also lead to tsunamis.
