no a volcano
What happens when an earthquake originates under the sea floor?
earthquakes under seafloor can lead to tsunamis
How is an earthquake related to a tsunami?
Tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes that occur on the ocean floor. Tsunamis are also referred to as Seismic Sea Waves
What are powerful seismic waves that begin as an ocean floor earthquake that can reach 30 meters in height when approaching land and can cause destruction in coastal areas?
A tsunami
What can result if an earthquake causes a sudden vertical change in the sea floor?
The direction of the tsunami will be determined by the magnitude of the earthquake.
Can you get piles from sitting on a cold floor?

No, an earthquake on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami (a series of large waves). Earthquakes do not influence weather events such as tornadoes.
Where is energy released during an underwater earthquake?
Energy is released in the form of seismic waves during an underwater earthquake. These waves propagate through the Earth's crust and are responsible for the shaking and transient motion associated with the earthquake. The source of this energy release is the sudden release of accumulated strain energy along a fault line beneath the ocean floor.
