Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
Can energy be released in an earthquake that can cause landslides and tsunamis?
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
Does wind cause most landslides?
No. Wind plays little if any role in landslides. Most landslides are caused by heavy rain on unstable slopes, expecially where vegetation has been removed or burned. Earthquakes are another common cause of landslides.

Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
Can earthquakes cause other geological disasters?
earthquakes can cause tsunamis, landslides, flooding, and volcanos
Can energy be released in an earthquake that can cause landslides and tsunamis?
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of Tectonic Plates.
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
What agents of erosion cause landslides?
Water and Gravity.
Are landslides accompanied by the occurrence of earthquakes?
The other way round. Landslides may be triggered by earthquakes but do not cause them.A large enough landslide will cause seismic activity that can be detected by seismometers however the trigger isn't the same as that found in earthquakes.
Are earthquakes related to landslides or tsunamis?
Earthquakes can trigger both landslides and tsunamis.
Does wind cause most landslides?
No. Wind plays little if any role in landslides. Most landslides are caused by heavy rain on unstable slopes, expecially where vegetation has been removed or burned. Earthquakes are another common cause of landslides.
How does gravity cause landslides?
Gravity is a force everything on Earth is influenced by. The usual causes of landslides are earthquake, heavy rainfall, and the felling of trees on steep slopes.
What do vibrations from tectonic plate movement cause?
They chiefly cause earthquakes, and could also result to landslides and tsunamis.
