What is the cause of most tsunami's?
Undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Do volcanic eruptions cause earthquakes?
Not usually. Although earthquakes often occur before a volcanic eruption, they are not the cause. The earthquakes are the result of magma (molten rock) moving underground leading up to an eruption. A few volcanic eruptions are thought to have been triggered or initiated by earthquakes, but this is not the typical case.
How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?
It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.
How are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions the same?
they are the same because they all cause damage to the earth
How do the plate boundaries cause or contribute to hazards?
Plate boundaries can cause hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. At convergent boundaries, where plates collide, the intense pressure can lead to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other, can also cause earthquakes. Additionally, divergent boundaries, where plates move apart, can result in volcanic eruptions and earthquakes as magma rises to the surface.
Do earthquakes produce ash?
No. Volcanic eruptions produce ash. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions get clustered. A volcanic eruption can cause vibrations, while a large temblor can rattle a magma chamber under a volcano, causing towers of ash and rivers of lava to gush forth.
Underwater earthquakes may cause which of the following?
Tsunamis' can be formed after an undersea earthquake.
What are 3 underwater names that can cause tsunamis?
Underwater landslides, Underwater volcanic eruptions, and Underwater earthquakes
Which is cause by the suns energy A weather B earthquakes C mountain building D volcanic eruptions?
D
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
What is a common fact between earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
Both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are caused by movements in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes result from the sudden release of energy along fault lines, while volcanic eruptions occur when magma rises to the surface and is released through vents. Both natural phenomena can result in significant damage and pose risks to people and property.
What is the most common cause of tsunamis?
Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.
