An earthquake is caused when there's a disturbance in the movement of plates under Earth's crust. Landslides are when wildfires, heavy rains and earthquakes cause a sudden movement of loose rock and soil to go down a steep slope.

Are earthquakes related to landslides or tsunamis?
Earthquakes can trigger both landslides and tsunamis.
What are some factors that cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are caused by undersea landslides. There are many possible causes for undersea landslides, but the most common are undersea earthquakes.
Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
How are landslides causes?
Landslides typically occur after periods of heavy rain, when the ground has become waterlogged and unable to hold together. However, landslides can also be triggered by mining, leaking water pipes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
How tsunami takes place?
A tsunami happens after an abrupt movement of the ocean floor. The most common causes are from earthquakes and underwater landslides.

Does gravity cause earthquakes or landslides?
landsides
Which of these hazards are characteristic of a convergent boundary Earthquakes volcanoesMountianstrenches mud landslides other?
Volcanic activity and Earthquakes are two. And two more are Landslides and avalanches.
How does earthquake cause landslide?
Earthquakes cause shaking that causes soil, rocks to slide down a mountain side. The longer the earthquake the more likely there will be large landslides. Volcanoes can also cause landslides when they erupt.
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
What events causes tsunamis?
Under water earth quakes, landslides,volcanic eruptions, under water explosions and the impact of a meteorite or comet.
