Yes. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes.
Japan has earthquakes, tsunami's, volcanoes, snow avalanches and many other hazards.
Well there are two common things in japan 1 . there are lots of earthquakes , they are one of the most dangerous ones . 2 . there are lots of tsunamis in japan as well .
Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.
earthquakes are the most things that cause a tsunamis
yes because most earthquakes are under the sea
Japan lies directly on the edge on a region most geologists call "The Ring of Fire" where most seismic and volcanic activity occur. Earthquakes trigger tsunamis so when there's an enormous earthquake out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Japan usually gets hit, along with Hawaii. +++ The Pacific Ring of Fire is actually most of the ocean's coasts - the American as well as Asian. The earthquakes occur below the continental shelves, so off-shore, but not in mid-ocean.
Yes. In fact most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Japan is a country that is most affected by them
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Of course! In fact, underwater earthquakes are a major cause of tsunamis.
