What else can I help you with?
What is cause by continents colliding?
Earthquakes, follwed by tidal waves.
What name is given to a tidal surge cause by under ocean earthquakes?
Tsunami
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.
Do earthquakes have to occur on land?
Nope - they can occur at sea too - they're the main cause of tidal waves.
Who believed they can cause earthquakes in Greek mythology?
Earthquakes were the domain of Poseidon. This is probably because for a people who lived primarily near the water, earthquakes would invariably be followed by tidal waves.
How did plate tectonics make earthquakes landslides and tidal waves?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
What other natural disasters occur during earthquakes?
Earthquakes can trigger landslides and can cause tsunami (tidal waves). Earthquakes also cause damage to infrastructure which can lead to fires (especially where gas pipelines are damaged) and may cause the spread of disease due to damage to water and sewer pipe lines.
What are two bad things that can happen as a result of plate tectonics how did plate tectonics cause these events?
Tidal waves, Earthquakes, landslides
What factors that can cause development of Tsuanami?
Tectonic plates moving, earthquakes. Tsunamis tend to be a combination. Otherwise there just tidal waves.
Are tsunamis caused by tidal waves?
no it is caused by earthquakes
What is the tidal wave caused by earthquakes called?
Tsunami
What does tidal power depend on?
Tidal power depends on the gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun, which cause the rise and fall of sea levels, known as tides. The energy harnessed from these tidal movements can be converted into electricity using various technologies, such as tidal turbines and barrages. The effectiveness of tidal power is also influenced by the geographical features of coastlines and the specific tidal range of a location. Overall, it relies on predictable and cyclical tidal patterns.
