Can energy be released in an earthquake that can cause landslides and tsunamis?
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
Why do some places have more natural disasters than others?
Some places are built close to fault lines. Fault lines are 'cracks' in the Earth's crust that move against each other - creating earthquakes and volcanos.
Do tsunamis have weather geologic or humans cause?
Tsunamis are geologic in origin. Typically they are triggered by earthquakes, but other causes can include landslides and volcanic eruptions.
What natural events can occur when crustal plates move over each other?
earthquakes and tsunamis
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!
Can earthquakes cause other geological disasters?
earthquakes can cause tsunamis, landslides, flooding, and volcanos
What other natural disasters can an earthquake cause?
Tsunamis and Volcanos
Does tsnamis occur in some places than other?
Tsunamis can occur in more places than others because of their location. Usually, areas which see many underwater earthquakes are more prone to have tsunamis. The west coast and Hawaii are two places where tsunamis can take place.
Can energy be released in an earthquake that can cause landslides and tsunamis?
No, because earthquakes can cause landslides but not tsunamis in other words earthquakes under the ocean can lead to tsunamis
Are tsunamis connected to any other natural phenomena?
Yes. Tsunamis are often triggered by earthquakes.
Do most earthquakes generate tsunamis?
yes because most earthquakes are under the sea

What is the name given to a seismic sea wave?
The term "seismic sea wave" has been found in geological and oceanographic texts, and typically is another term for a tsunami. Earthquakes at underwater subduction zones (where one tectonic plate moves beneath another) are the leading cause of tsunamis. Not all tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, however; other causes may include underwater volcanos, landslides, and underwater explosions (such as nuclear devices).
How many other natural disasters are involved in tsunamis and why?
landslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
Do earthquakes travel through oceans?
Yes, some earthquakes travel through water. They could cause Tsunamis and other stuff.
Are any natural disasters related?
Tsunamis are related to earthquakes in that earthquakes happen underwater, creating Tsunamis. Volcanoes are somewhat related to earthquakes in that some warning signs of volcanoes are tiny earthquakes, created by the movement of magma and the swelling of the volcano. Other than that, I don't think so.

Tsunamis are geologic in origin. Typically they are triggered by earthquakes, but other causes can include landslides and volcanic eruptions.
