Which is most likely to result when a large earthquake occurs underwater?
tsunami
Could a large lake recede before an earthquake occurs?
Yes, a large lake can recede before an earthquake occurs due to the shifting of tectonic plates underground affecting the water levels. Additionally, changes in groundwater levels or natural fluctuations in water flow can also cause a lake to recede.
Is it bad to be upstairs in an earthquake?
Not necessarily. If a house is sturdy enough to be able to go through a small earthquake, then there is no problem in being there. However, if a large earthquake occurs, a tsunami occurs after an earthquake, or if your house is old and therefore unstable, it is best to stay on the lowest level of you house.
When a tsunami occurs when a large volume of water suddenly?
A tsunami can happen if a large volume of water is suddenly displaced by an undersea earthquake.
What is caused by pressure from a large-scale geological event?
Usually this will result in an earthquake, as the pressure releases.
What happens to ships when an earthquake occurs in the ocean?
During an earthquake in the ocean, ships may experience rough and unpredictable sea conditions due to the seismic activity. They may also be at risk of encountering tsunamis generated by the earthquake, causing large and dangerous waves that can damage or capsize the ship. Vessels are advised to move to deeper waters or ports to minimize the impact of the earthquake on their safety.
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.
What is a large wave created by an earthquake on the ocean floor?
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
What is the result if mitosis occurs at an abnormal rate?
This is the definition of cancer. It will produce a large growth with uncontrolled activity.
What damage occurs after a large earthquake?
If you mean damage to the surrounding are then it all depends on how built up the area is. Most damage is caused by structural collapse so more built up areas will see a higher amount of damage than a less built up, more rural area. If you mean damage to the earths crust itself then you need to look at what type of earthquake it was and the location of the epicentre (the point of origin)
What does major earthquake mean?
It means that the earthquake is large and powerful.
Which natural force probably caused the hill to flow into the town?
A landslide was likely the natural force that caused the hill to flow into the town. Heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or volcanic activity can trigger landslides and result in the movement of large amounts of soil and rock downhill.
