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.
Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
No, most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust, not by folding. Folding is a slow process of deformation in the Earth's crust, while earthquakes are the result of rapid movement along faults.
What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?

Which type of disaster is caused by convergent plate movement?

What are some of the features of earth that are caused by plate movement?
mountains and earthquakes
What are some of the features of the earth that are caused by plates movement?
mountains and earthquakes
Why are earthquakes caused by rocks breaking?
Vibrating through movement of rocks
What Weather causes an Earthquake?
Weather does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Changes in weather, such as heavy rainfall or snowmelt, can potentially trigger landslides or affect the stability of soil, which may indirectly influence the likelihood of avalanches or mudslides, but not earthquakes.
What causes small earthquakes before a volcanic eruption?
The earthquakes are caused by the movement of magma underground and the breaking of rocks by that magma.
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.
What do volcanoes mountainsand earthquakes all have in common?
