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.
Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?
Tsunamis and earthquakes are geological phenomena caused by the movement of the Earth's plates, while weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time. Tsunamis are triggered by underwater disturbances like earthquakes, which displace water, while earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust.
Why are lots of earthquakes and tsunamis happening?
Earthquakes and tsunamis occur due to movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. When these plates shift or collide, it can result in seismic activity such as earthquakes. Tsunamis, on the other hand, are often caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that displace a large volume of water.
How does the movement of tectonic plates?
The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
What do the yellow arrows in this illustration represent in the earths core?
movement of earth's tectonic plates
Does earthquakes cause tsunamis?
because it shifs the earths plates
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.
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 happens when earth's plate move?
when the earths plates move we either have earthquakes, tsunamis, and we get ridges and trenches.
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
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 is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.

Are tsunamis affected by global warming?
No, tsunamis occur due to the tectonic plates moving underneath the ocean. The movement of the plates is through covention currents within the magma which isn't affected by climate change.
