What type of faults don't cause tsunamis?
Strike-slip faults generally do not produce tsunamis.
Can reverse faults cause tsunamis?
Yes.
What type of faults are associated with fault-block mountains?
Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.
Do tsunamis create storms?
No.
Are there any adaptations made from tsunamis?
Tsunamis do not create adaptations in plants or animals.
What type of faults don't cause tsunamis?
Strike-slip faults generally do not produce tsunamis.
Can reverse faults cause tsunamis?
Yes.
What type faults create mountain and valleys?
Reverse and normal
What are facts about faults?
1. Faults can be vertical or horizontal (approximately) 2. a fault is a separation or crack in the earths crust 3. when faults slide against each other they create an earthquake 4. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis 5. Earthquakes are found most commonly on fault lines
What type of waves do earthquakes create?
Seismic waves Tidal waves or tsunamis. They would also create shock waves.
What type of faults are associated with fault-block mountains?
Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.
Do tsunamis create storms?
No.
Are there any adaptations made from tsunamis?
Tsunamis do not create adaptations in plants or animals.
Do tsunamis create hurricanes?
No, tsunamis are created by undersea earthquakes. Sometimes a hurricane may cause very rough seas and create large waves, but tsunamis are a different disaster.
What are the actions of the faults?
Faults can create cracks in the earth and cause earthquakes.
Can people cause tsunamis?
This is hard to answer because of the definition of tsunami. Certainly people are not able to create tsunamis like the one that struck Japan recently. However some tsunamis are small and of little note. Since tsunamis can be caused by underwater faults, small faults and thus small water pulses can be caused by the pumping of oil from under the sea. Also, the hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll caused a tsunami like wave. I'm not sure whether is was considered an official tsunami, but some definitions say tsunamis are generated by any large, impulsive displacement of the sea level. The hydrogen bomb certainly caused a large, impulsive displacement of the sea level so by this definition it caused a tsunami.
Underwater earthquakes of a great magnitude can create what?
tsunamis
