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
Why are tsunamis so powerful?
The events that cause tsunamis involve huge releases of energy. The main events causing tsunamis are-underwater volcanic eruption, earthquake or a landslide.
Where is energy released during an underwater earthquake?
Energy is released in the form of seismic waves during an underwater earthquake. These waves propagate through the Earth's crust and are responsible for the shaking and transient motion associated with the earthquake. The source of this energy release is the sudden release of accumulated strain energy along a fault line beneath the ocean floor.
What is the difference in energy released by an 5 earthquake and a 6 earthquake?
Roughly 32 times more energy is released in a Magnitude 6 earthquake than in a Mag.5 quake.
Where tsunami's occurs and how you protect yourself if you are in the path of a tsunami?
Tsunamis occur as a result of an earthquake underwater. The earthquakes happen when the 'built up energy' in the tectonic plates gets released. Due to the earthquake, the tsunami occurs. You cant really find out when the tsunami/earthquake will occur because we do not have enhanced machines yet. However, earthquakes and tsunamis can be detected- but close to the time of occurrence- this is why the only way to protect yourself is by evacuating as quickly as possible, as soon as the warning is issued.

Why are tsunamis so powerful?
The events that cause tsunamis involve huge releases of energy. The main events causing tsunamis are-underwater volcanic eruption, earthquake or a landslide.
What is the name given to the waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
It should be a seismic wave.
How is an earthquake magnitude scale related to the amounts of energy released by earthquaiew?
The larger the magnitude of the earthquake, the larger the energy to be released by the earthquake.
Energy released during an earthquake creates?
Energy released during an earthquake creates seismic waves.
Where is energy released during an underwater earthquake?
Energy is released in the form of seismic waves during an underwater earthquake. These waves propagate through the Earth's crust and are responsible for the shaking and transient motion associated with the earthquake. The source of this energy release is the sudden release of accumulated strain energy along a fault line beneath the ocean floor.
How are earthquakes and tsunamis similar?
tsunamis are generally an effect caused by earthquaques, which release energy when a fault can no longer keep the frictional energy produced by tectonic movements. They are both waves, the earthquake are acoustic waves that propagate in the earth, while tsunamis are material waves, in that the energy propagates through water.
How are earthquakes landslides tsunami and plates all are related?
Tsunamis and plates are some what related in one way tsunamis are related by the change in the earths epicenter. a landslide is related in two ways by an focus and a fault line. plates are related an forming of mountains and the turning of the types of plates. Plates shifting causes earthquakes which can cause landslides or tsunamis.
What is the amount of energy released by an earthquake called?
This is known as the magnitude of the earthquake.
What is the difference in energy released by an 5 earthquake and a 6 earthquake?
Roughly 32 times more energy is released in a Magnitude 6 earthquake than in a Mag.5 quake.
Seismic wave?
the energy released by an earthquake that travels in all direction from the focus
Magnitude is an earthquake's what?
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
