Describe the relationship between tsunami and plate tectonic?
The collision of tectonic plates causes earthquakes. When one place slides below the other plate beneath the ocean floor, this rapid movement of the plates forced the ocean floor and water upward. The energy was then transmitted across the ocean, causing huge tsunami waves.
How do massive earthquakes near oceans are followed by Tsunamis?
because the movement of the earthquake makes the plates in the water crash together to form the tsunami
What plates move to create a tsunami?
My precious china plates. They are worth lots.
What type of natural disaster is called by a collision plates?
Earthquakes (with tsunami if under the sea). The vibration actually comes from the stick-slip movement between the subducting plate and the overlying plate. Then volcanism, with highly-gaseous, highly-explosive eruptions.
What are the three major causes of tsunamis?
Tsunamis are caused by the sudden movement in water by tectonic plates. Tsunamis are a result of Earthquakes.

What 2 natural disasters are commonly associated with the movement of plates?
Tsunami and earthquake
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
How does movement in tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks?
the plate tectonics can have contact with one another and cause earthquakes, and tsunami's

Which two natural disasters are commonly associated with the movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes may also cause tsunami.

What do you call the plates that cause tsunami's?
They are called tectonic plates. See the related question below for more information about the causes of tsunami.
How does tsunami erupt?
well there are tectonic plates at the end of the sea and then one of those tectonic plates go up and a tsunami will erupt?
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plates?
Fill the gap between separating plates.
