What are the main causes of natural disasters?
Weather [hurricanes, tornadoes, floods], volcanoes, earthquakes, avalanches, tidal waves (tsunamis), and fire
Do shock waves cause tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.
How can earthquakes and volcanoes trigger avalanches?
When the sound waves of pressure move across the land it can cause erosions, leading to avalanches. Or as they both shake the earth nearby, causing an avalanch.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
What are the main features of a tsunmi?
Tsunamis have large waves that come over land and cause flooding. Plate tectonics cause this.

Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
What are some natural effects of earthquakes?
Rupturing of soil, ground Soil liquefaction Fires Landslides Avalanches Tidal forces/waves Tsunamis Floods Loss of life, shelter, etc...
Do tsunamis create hurricanes?
No, tsunamis are created by undersea earthquakes. Sometimes a hurricane may cause very rough seas and create large waves, but tsunamis are a different disaster.
Do shock waves cause tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.
The cause of normal waves but not tsunamis?
the normal waves are produced due to the attractional or gravitational force between the earth and the moon but the tsunamis are caused due to the movement of the tectonic plates undet the ocean.
How can earthquakes and volcanoes trigger avalanches?
When the sound waves of pressure move across the land it can cause erosions, leading to avalanches. Or as they both shake the earth nearby, causing an avalanch.
What percent of volcanoes cause tidal waves?
no volcanoes cause tidal waves - the plates create land. earthquakes, however, do make tidal waves and tsunamis in the aftermath. look that up instead.
How do sunamis work?
its spelled tsunamis, and they are commonly caused by underwater earthquakes that cause massive waves.
What affects the speed of waves?
Surface winds and the sea bed movement of plates (these can cause tsunamis).
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
What are the main features of a tsunmi?
Tsunamis have large waves that come over land and cause flooding. Plate tectonics cause this.
