Why are there tsunamis and hurricanes in Hawaii?

Answer 1

There are two main causes of seismic activity in Hawaii. One is the underground movement of magma (molten rock). Second, the islands themselves are unstable and are gradually subsiding, breaking rock as they do.

Answer 2

In the early part of 2010, many major earthquakes happened back to back and caused much destruction and death.

The major ones included:

1. 7.0 earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010

2. 8.8 earthquake in Chile on February 27, 2010

3. 7.2 in Mexico on April 4, 2010

4. 6.9 in China on April 13, 2010

While it seems like the number of earthquakes are increasing, scientists say this is actually normal. However, these earthquakes have occurred in highly populated areas, causing more damage and death and therefore getting more media attention. Therefore we think there is an increase but in actuality it is normal.

Answer 3

there are magma movements that can cause earthquake activity to occur below the volcano. This can be a signal that an earthquake eruption is about to come.

Answer 4

Hawaii has a large number of earthquakes due to volcanic activity. There are more than 129 volcanoes in the Hawaii hotspot, although only four of them are currently active.
