an earthquake's epicentre is under the plates and if the epicentre is near or under water, the vibrations will disturb the water and make waves or even tsunamis.
seismic waves and pressure waves it depends on intensity of the earthquake
The highest waves in the ocean are usually caused by a storm or earthquake. An earthquake at sea can cause mass destruction if the waves crash into land.
yes they are called seismic waves and if they are under the sea they are called a tsumami
When an earthquake generates seismic waves, those waves can travel through solid rock, water, and even air. As the waves reach the coast of Greece, they can travel through the seabed and across the sea to Italy, where they shake the ground once again. This is how seismic waves from a distant earthquake can be felt in another country across the sea.
tsunamis and tidal waves are some of the effects
The succession of waves is called a tsunami.
No. The answer is, first the earth trembles (there is earthquake), and if that earthquake is in sea or ocean, the water would be quaked too. As a result tidal waves will be created.. and that is Tsunami
Many tidal waves originate from an earthquake under the sea bed.
Earthquakes happen under the sea sometimes. This will have the effect of shaking the sea. If you have a bowl of water and shake it, you will get waves in the bowl. That is what happens when an earthquake occurs under the sea and why we get tsunamis caused by earthquakes.
yes
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
Source earthquake waves are seismic waves produced directly from the earthquake's source, such as the initial rupture of rocks along a fault. These waves include P-waves and S-waves that travel through the Earth and are used to locate and study earthquakes. Source earthquake waves provide valuable information about the earthquake's characteristics and help in assessing its impact.
