Tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes that occur at subduction zones. A subduction zone is where one tectonic plate slide under another.
Tsunamis are also caused by landslides along the coastline, which may be triggered by earthquakes, and on rare occasion by meteors crashing into the oceans if they're of significant size.
They can be caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and undersea landslides.
yeah and it can be caused by volcanoes and underwater volcanoes!! ( eruptions )
No
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
Tsunami's can be triggered by earthquakes that happen underneath the ocean floor.
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
Yes.
Yes, they can. (and do.)
By nature.More specific by earthquakes of the ocean floor.
Tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes that occur on the ocean floor. Tsunamis are also referred to as Seismic Sea Waves
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
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.
Tsunami's can be triggered by earthquakes that happen underneath the ocean floor.
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
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.
Earthquakes often generate tsunamis. See the related link below:
Tsunamis occur at the bottom of the sea or ocean beds. They are caused by seismic movements or earthquakes on the ocean floors.
What causes earth quakes is the plates under earth move or collide with each other and shake the earth. Tsunamis can be caused also by earthquakes, especially those centered on the ocean floor. But they can also be caused by landslides and other natural events near the oceans. See the related questions below.
Earthquakes in the ocean may cause tsunamis.
Tsunamis can happen in Long Beach, California, or anywhere that is along the coastline. Tsunamis originate from earthquakes beneath the ocean floor.
