What are the three major causes of tsunamis?
Tsunamis are caused by the sudden movement in water by tectonic plates. Tsunamis are a result of Earthquakes.
Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?
because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
What is a plate tactonics?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
What process is in animals that are stimulated by the movement of earths continent and oceanic plates?
adaption
What is seismology in the field of science?
Its the study of the movement of the earths tectonic plates, so to do with earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis etc. Its more geography really.
Does earthquakes cause tsunamis?
because it shifs the earths plates
How are earthquakes landslides tsunami and plates all are related?
Tsunamis and plates are some what related in one way tsunamis are related by the change in the earths epicenter. a landslide is related in two ways by an focus and a fault line. plates are related an forming of mountains and the turning of the types of plates. Plates shifting causes earthquakes which can cause landslides or tsunamis.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
What happens when earth's plate move?
when the earths plates move we either have earthquakes, tsunamis, and we get ridges and trenches.
Can movement of the Earth's plates cause tornadoes?
No. The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis but is completely unrelated tornadoes. Tornadoes are produced by severe thunderstorms.
Why are volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis so destructive?
They involve the movement of tectonic plates under the Earths surface. These land masses are so large that if they move significantly there can be catastrophic results, such as them shaking (earthquakes on land or tsunamis on water) or letting through molten lava (volcanoes).
What are the three major causes of tsunamis?
Tsunamis are caused by the sudden movement in water by tectonic plates. Tsunamis are a result of Earthquakes.
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
Its Tectonic Activity
Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?
because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
What affects the speed of waves?
Surface winds and the sea bed movement of plates (these can cause tsunamis).
