Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes are all severe. It just depends on how strong they are and where they occur.
No sometimes not a month ago the usa got a small earthquake on the east coast and caused no tusanmi
In order for an underwater earthquake to generate a tsunami, it must be a large and it must cause vertical shifting of the sea floor. Some under or near water earthquakes will fail to produce a tsunami because they are not strong enough or only cause horizontal shifting.
No. Tsunamis may be caused by landslides, volcanic eruptions and, on rare occasions, asteroid impacts.
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
Tsunami's can be triggered by earthquakes that happen underneath the ocean floor.
Faulting occurs in all three of these
Earthquakes (which make tsunamis), and volcanoes if you count them.
No. Seismic waves are the actual vibrations in the ground generate by an earthquake. Tsunamis are a different matter, nor are all tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
Tsunamis and plates are some what related in one way tsunamis are related by the change in the earths epicenter. a landslide is related in two ways by an focus and a fault line. plates are related an forming of mountains and the turning of the types of plates. Plates shifting causes earthquakes which can cause landslides or tsunamis.
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
In virtually all cases, no. Tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes. However, there is one potential exception. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides. Heavy rain can cause landslides in some areas.
