Do all earthquakes cause tsunamis?
No sometimes not a month ago the usa got a small earthquake on the east coast and caused no tusanmi
Do all tsunamis start with earthquakes?
No. Tsunamis may be caused by landslides, volcanic eruptions and, on rare occasions, asteroid impacts.
Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
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.
Do earthquakes trigger tsunami's?
Tsunami's can be triggered by earthquakes that happen underneath the ocean floor.
What are all the tectonic natural disasters?
Earthquakes (which make tsunamis), and volcanoes if you count them.
How is faulting related to earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
Faulting occurs in all three of these
How are earthquakes landslides tsunami and plates all are related?
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.
Can tsunamis be refered to as seismic waves?
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.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
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.
Is there a connection between tsunami and extreme rain?
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.
How do tsunamis get so powerful?
They get their power from underwater earthquakes in which the water reacts with those earthquakes. They all start out when the tetonic plates on the earth's surface collide with each other. Look it up!
