A tsunami can happen when there is a sudden movement in the ocean thatâ??s caused by a landslide or earthquake. The other cause of tsunami is volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact.
Tsunamis are caused by undersea landslides. There are many possible causes for undersea landslides, but the most common are undersea earthquakes.
it causes earth quakes and tsunamis which some occur in japan
Landslides and other big impacts like volcanic eruptions cause mega tsunamis
What causes the tsunami is an earthquake under ground and it blows the water to land
The mass of the wavefront causes most of the damage.
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.
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.
usually and underwater volcano.
Tsunamis are caused by shifts in tectonic plates in the middle of the ocean. Once they come ashore, tsunamis can cause millions of dollars in property damage.
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
The pacific plate slides across the North American plate for example, which causes tsunamis to form do to underwater earthquakes
tsunamis come from a disturbance in the water like a volcanic erruption which causes the water to draw back creating a huge wave
