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.
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 are tsunami related to?
earthquakes
Why is a tsunami useful?
Tsunami is useful to generate electricity.
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.
Is an earthquake always followed by a tsunami?
No not always only when the earthquake is off shore if it is on land then there isn't a tsunami. What happens is if the earthquake is off shore it causes a little mountain form and the water that was once in the space that the mountain now takes up creates a wave that gradually picks up more water then more speed and there you have it: A 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.
