Do dams trigger earthquakes?
Dams trigger tiny earthquakes as the ground under the reservoir adapts to the great weight of water added to it. There is no indication that these are causes of large earthquakes. Massive dams like Hoover Dam or Grand Coulee would have triggered huge earthquakes if this was the case. The largest killer earthquakes generally occur in places with no large dams.
What is the relationship between tsunami and earthquakes?
Earthquakes often generate tsunamis. See the related link below:
What are the water cycle's 6 stages?
Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation, Precipitation, Subsurface Runoff, and Surface Runoff.
Which countries don't have earthquakes?
only countries lining the borders of the crust's plates will experience earthquakes. And since these plates are so big, they cover many countries and the ones in the middle experience earthquakes the least.
The choke ballast repair method is used when?
Water is standing in the crater or if subsurface material is unsuitable to fill the crater
What is the difference between soil water and groundwater?
Ground water is the water present in the saturated zone of the subsurface. Soil water is the water present in the unsaturated zone of the subsurface.
A large water wave called a can be generated by underwater earthquakes?
It is a tsunami.
What is the Difference between the surface and subsurface?
The difference between surface run-off and subsurface run -off is that surface run-off is that when it is precipitation the water goes on the ground like a river and lake. The water that goes on the top of the ground is going to the oceans. The subsurface run-off is that when it is preciptation the water
What term is defined as bodies of water stored under ground?
subsurface water
What term is defines as bodies of water stored in underground places?
"subsurface water"
What is natural subsurface irrigation and artificial subsurface irrigation?
natural subsurface irrigation :- those areas which lie near to canal and roots zone of crops doenst require irrigation water Artificial irrigation :- by a network of pipe and pump water is provide to the root zone

What is water that is found under the ground?
Subsurface water is found in layers called aquifers.
How do tsunami take birth?
Undersea earthquakes and landslides push large masses of water, producing the waves.
Which ocean is most likely to have a tsunami and why?
The pacific ocean because it has the most earthquakes and is such a large body of water.
What is the structure of Callisto?
A thick water ice surface with a layer of subsurface salt water underneath.
