Yes. The Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 was caused by a major earthquake off the coast of Sumatra.
Yes, it is possible for a earthquake with a rictor scale of 5 to cause one.
Earthquakes over a certain Richter scale that happen under the sea will cause a Tsunami.
That underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis recently was shown on February 27, 2010, when the underwater epicenter of the Chile earthquake sent a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean, initially in the direction of the Hawaiian Islands.
yes it can because tsunamis are just earthquakes in the water
It's the other way around; earthquakes that take place under the ocean cause the displacement of water and hence, tsunamis.
Yes, it can. If an earthquake happenes under water, in the ocean for example, the vibration from the earthquake moves up and causes a wave to form. Most times there is more than one wave
Yeah mate you're screwed.
No
Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes due to vibrations.
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
tsunamis
Tsunamis do not have epicentres. Earthquakes do. Sometimes, as in the case of Japan, earthquakes cause tsunamis.
No, generally only earthquakes can generate tsunamis. Hurricanes only have the ability to churn up the very top layer of the ocean.
Yes. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes.
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
Earthquakes can trigger both landslides and tsunamis.
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
Earthquakes (which make tsunamis), and volcanoes if you count them.
Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes due to vibrations.
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
tsunamis
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.
Tsunamis do not have epicentres. Earthquakes do. Sometimes, as in the case of Japan, earthquakes cause tsunamis.
