Earthquakes can trigger both landslides and tsunamis.
Yes. Earthquakes at subduction zones can trigger tsunamis.
Tsunami's can be triggered by earthquakes that happen underneath the ocean floor.
The answers on an episode of Bang Goes the Theory on BBC
Hurricanes do not form underwater, as they require warm ocean water. Earthquakes can certainly occur underwater, known as underwater earthquakes, and can trigger tsunamis due to the displacement of water.
No. The vast majorit of earthquakes, including those in Hawaii, do no trigger tsunamis.
Yes. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes.
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Yes, during an earthquake, the release of energy can trigger landslides due to the shaking of the ground, which can dislodge rocks and soil. Additionally, underwater earthquakes can displace large volumes of water, generating tsunamis due to the transfer of energy to the ocean.
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
The best warning is detecting major offshore earthquakes. These are what trigger tsunamis. The waves build up at sea until they reach land at enormous heights.
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
