Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
How does the biosphere affect the geosphere?
the geosphere will create earthquakes that cause the biosphere to die and there homes get destroyed
Are tsunamis and earthquake related?
Absolutely. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, just like with Indonesia back in 2004.
Why doesn't Malibu CA get tsunamis?
Malibu can get tsunamis, as can just about any location along the Pacific Ocean. Other parts of California have suffered damage from tsunamis before. It has mostly been a matter of luck that Malibu hasn't taken major damage from one in recent years.
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
Do hurricanes or tornadoes cause more damage in the US each year?

What are the causes and effects of tsunamis in points?
Tsunamis are caused by shifts in tectonic plates in the middle of the ocean. Once they come ashore, tsunamis can cause millions of dollars in property damage.
Major danger of earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause several types of damage. Some of the major damage they can cause are collapsed building, sinkholes, tsunamis, and loss of life.
Why are tsunamis unique?
They are unique because they are massive and cause a lot of damage to countries, towns and cities
What can earthquake do?
An earthquake can affect four spheres: The lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. The lithosphere is the solid portion of the earth. The hydrosphere is the water surrounding the earth (the ocean). The atmosphere is the air. The biosphere is the ecosystem of organisms. Earthquakes affect these by: Lithosphere: Shaking, ground rupture, landslides, avalanches, fires, forests destroyed, severe building damage. Hydrosphere: Tsunamis. Atmosphere: Gas emissions from ground release toxic gases into the atmosphere. Biosphere: Kills people, animals, disrupts ecosystem, destroys plantlife and crops.
Do tornadoes do more damage then tsunamis?
Generally not. Tsunamis cause destruction along much larger areas than tornadoes do. However tornadoes are significantly more common
True or false a tsunami causes more damage than a tornado?
True. Tsunamis typically cause widespread and severe damage due to their powerful and destructive nature, impacting coastal areas over large distances. Tornadoes can also be destructive, but their damage is usually localized to a smaller area compared to the widespread devastation caused by tsunamis.
Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?

What is the effect of the earthquake?
They cause tsunamis
How many tsunamis are there in a year?
On average, there are about 2 tsunamis per year that cause significant damage and loss of life. However, many smaller tsunamis occur annually that go unnoticed because they do not generate significant destruction.
