What may be triggered by submarine slides tsunamis liquefaction earthquakes?
tsunamis
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
Do tsunamis have weather geologic or humans cause?
Tsunamis are geologic in origin. Typically they are triggered by earthquakes, but other causes can include landslides and volcanic eruptions.
Do shock waves cause tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.
Are earthquakes related to tsunamis?
Yes. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes.
What may be triggered by submarine slides tsunamis liquefaction earthquakes?
tsunamis
Are tsunamis connected to any other natural phenomena?
Yes. Tsunamis are often triggered by earthquakes.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Can tsunamis be refered to as seismic waves?
No. Seismic waves are the actual vibrations in the ground generate by an earthquake. Tsunamis are a different matter, nor are all tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
Do tsunamis have weather geologic or humans cause?
Tsunamis are geologic in origin. Typically they are triggered by earthquakes, but other causes can include landslides and volcanic eruptions.
Is there a connection between tsunami and extreme rain?
In virtually all cases, no. Tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes. However, there is one potential exception. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides. Heavy rain can cause landslides in some areas.
What 3 other types of destructive events that can be triggered by earthquakes?
Landslides, tsunamis,and soil liquefaction
How do tsunamis relate to the troposphere?
The don't. The troposphere is the layer of earth's atmosphere where most weather occurs. Tsunamis are triggered by forces within the earth, completely unrealted to the weather.
Do shock waves cause tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.
Is a tsunami weather related or geology related?
Since tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes they are geology related.
