What else can I help you with?
Can earthquakes below the ocean cause tsunamis?
Yes.
Do earthquakes below the ocean can cause tsunamis?
Yes, they can. (and do.)
What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
An earthquakes point below earth's surface where an earthquake begins?
Focus
Do moving tectonic plates cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes in the sea. Earthquakes are caused by moving tectonic plates. So, indirectly, yes. See the related question below for more information on the causes of tsunami.
What causes earthquakes and tsunamis?
What causes earth quakes is the plates under earth move or collide with each other and shake the earth. Tsunamis can be caused also by earthquakes, especially those centered on the ocean floor. But they can also be caused by landslides and other natural events near the oceans. See the related questions below.
What is the relationship between tsunami and earthquakes?
Tsunamis are often triggered by underwater earthquakes, specifically those that occur along subduction zones where tectonic plates converge or diverge. The sudden movement of the Earth's crust displaces a large volume of water, generating a series of powerful waves that can travel long distances across the ocean. Other factors, such as volcanic eruptions or underwater landslides, can also generate tsunamis.
Why are there earthquakes?
The tectonic plates below the earth surface crash into each other forming a earthquake.
What is vaporization called when it occurs below the surface?
When vaporization occurs below the surface of a liquid, it is called boiling.
What is melted rock below the surface of earth called?
Melted rock below the surface of the Earth is called magma.
What is molten rock called on land?
It is called lava above the surface, and magma below the surface.
