Why is an earthquake in the ocean more dangerous than one on land?
An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land
tsunaim?
when an earthquake occurs where a slab of the ocean floors displaced uercally along a fault
Tsunami?
When an earthquake occurs where a slab of the ocean floor is displaced vertically along a fault.
How can an earthquake that occurs beneath the ocean and far from a populated area cause destruction of property and Loss of life?
an earthquake underwater can cause tsunamies whick can cause those things
Can an earthquake occur in the ocean?
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
What happens if there is an earthquake under an ocean?
If there is an earthquake under an ocean, tsunami is possible.
When does tsunamis happen?
Tsunamis happen when an earthquake occurs on the ocean floor, causing the water to move vigorously.
What does ocean earthquake mean?
An ocean earthquake, also known as a submarine earthquake, is an earthquake that occurs beneath the ocean floor. These earthquakes can generate tsunamis due to the displacement of large volumes of water, posing a threat to coastal areas. Detection and monitoring of these events are crucial for early warning systems to mitigate potential impacts.
Which happened first in japan earthquake or tsunami?
In the context of a natural disaster event, the earthquake typically occurs before the tsunami. This is because the earthquake generates the seismic waves that trigger the tsunami as a series of powerful ocean waves.
What occurs when tectonic plates slip or jerk and cause an earthquake on the Ocean floor?
I believe you answered both possible questions you could be asking.
Where was the earthquake in the Indian ocean?
In the Indian Ocean
What happens wen an earthquake occurs under water?
When an earthquake occurs underwater, it can displace large volumes of water, potentially generating tsunamis. The seismic waves travel through the ocean, and if the earthquake's magnitude is significant, it can create massive waves that radiate outward from the epicenter. These tsunamis can cause devastating impacts on coastal areas, leading to flooding and destruction. Additionally, underwater earthquakes can also affect marine ecosystems and geological structures on the ocean floor.
