How does earthquake generated tsunami?
Earthquakes don't generate tsunamis - a tsunami is caused by different atmospheric pressure systems coming together. An underwater earthquake would generate a tidal wave, which is caused by the water displaced by the earthquake.
Can a 1.0 earthquake create a tsunami?
No, a 1.0 magnitude earthquake is too small to generate a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically triggered by large earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.0 or greater that displace a significant amount of water.
When does a tsunami happen most frequently?
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
Do earthquakes trigger tsunami's?
Tsunami's can be triggered by earthquakes that happen underneath the ocean floor.
What are tsunami related to?
earthquakes
Why is a tsunami useful?
Tsunami is useful to generate electricity.
Why weren't there any tsunamis in the Christchurch earthquakes?
The Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 did not generate tsunamis because they were caused by strike-slip faults, which do not displace water vertically to create a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically generated by earthquakes associated with subduction zones or vertical displacements of the seafloor.
What magnitude generate tsunami?
Tsunamis can be generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides underwater. The magnitude of the earthquake or the volume of material displaced by a volcanic eruption or landslide are important factors that determine the size and strength of the resulting tsunami.
Do tsunami and volcanoes have to do with earthquakes?
yes.
What are the waves that are made by earthquakes?
tsunami
What caused the Japanses tsunami?
Earthquakes.
Are there earthquakes in the marine biome?
yes there is because earthquakes cause a tsunami
