An undersea earthquake causing a large displacement of the sea floor can cause a tsunamis. Another cause could be when a large area of cliffs suddenly crashes into the sea, so setting off a displacement of the sea.
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
They cause tsunamis
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
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.
Absolutely. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, just like with Indonesia back in 2004.
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.
Landslides and other big impacts like volcanic eruptions cause mega tsunamis
An earthquake is responsible 'cause underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
Yes.
Yes, they can. (and do.)
