Why did the earthquake in los angeles happen?
the two tetonic plates collided and made a earthquake
What are the changes in the earth's structure that causes earthquakes?
Tectonic plates on The Earth move which causes earthquakes. If 1 plate collides with another it can form hills, volcanoes and/ or mountains. If the earthquake occurs in water, it can cause tsunamis.
Which earthquake intensity scale assesses the effects of an earthquake on humans and human-made structures?
Mercalli scale
Why did Charles Richter invent the Richter scale?
Charles Richter made it so it can measure the size of an earthquake.
Will the earthquake in Haiti destroy the topography?
the dinosuars came back to life and killed everybody in a little part of china which made a huge earthquake
How are tsunamis made?
tsunamis are formed by underwater volcanoes, meteorites, and both of them equal up to the final disaster, an earthquake.
How many tsunamis have made the US worst earth quake list?
A tsunami is caused by an earthquake, which means that the earthquake would make the Earthquake list. Whether the list would include information on the created tsunami is unknown. Magnitude doesn't always correlate directly to the magnitude of the earthquake nor does it have a direct relationship with the number of deaths or the amount of destruction caused.The highest magnitude Earthquake was recorded in Chile in 1960 with a Magnitude of 9.5. ThisEarthquake created a tsunami that was initially 82 feet high, diminished to 35 feet when it hit the island of Hilo and only 15 feet when it reached Japan.The 2nd worst recorded Earthquake occurred December 26th, 2004 Earthquake Magnitude 9.1-9.3.This quake created 5 tsunamis.The largest/tallest recorded tsunami was created by a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that generated a wave 1720 feet high.
What is the name of giant sea waves caused by earthquake?
The name of giant sea waves caused by an earthquake is a tsunami. Tsunamis can travel across oceans at high speeds, carrying massive amounts of energy that can result in significant destruction when they reach land. It is important to have early warning systems in place to help mitigate the impact of tsunamis.
Are there any adaptations made from tsunamis?
Tsunamis do not create adaptations in plants or animals.
Would there be a cure for tsunami?
Tsunamis are natural disasters caused by underwater disturbances and cannot be cured. However, efforts can be made to mitigate their impact through early warning systems, coastal planning, and education to help people prepare for and respond to tsunamis effectively.
What are the worst items on a food calorie list?
Many times, the worst items on the food calorie list are fried foods or foods with thick creamy sauces. Cream sauce is usually made with a butter base. Stay away from those.
What made the 2004 tsanumi?
The 2004 tsunami was caused by a massive undersea earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1-9.3 off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. This earthquake triggered a series of devastating tsunamis that affected multiple countries bordering the Indian Ocean.
What the differences between tsunamis and rouge waves?
a rouge wave is a wave in the ocean, and a tsunamis is a a wave made near a coast.
What is the connection earthquakes and tsunamis?
In order for a Tsunami to form a large amount of water in the ocean has to be displaced. When an Earthquake occurs under the sea (due to the sudden release of pressure between tectonic plates) the sea bed moves causing water to be displaced. As the water rushes upwards it creates a series of large waves, Tsunami waves which travel extremely fast and can be devastating upon coastal cities.
What are some ways tsunamis can be predicted?
tsunamis are uaually predicted if an earthquake occurs befor then you can expect a tsunami to happen next if you live in a city or town with a ocean near by.Tsunamis are predicted using both satellite and electronic equipment which detects the slightest tremor in the ocean. Calculations are then made about distance from shore, recent weather and the size of the tremor to estimate the probibility.
Why was the last tsunami?
The last tsunami was caused by an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption that displaced a large volume of ocean water, creating massive waves that traveled across the ocean and eventually made landfall. Tsunamis can also be triggered by meteorite impacts or landslides into bodies of water.
Why tsunamis are difficult to predict?
Tsunamis are difficult to predict because the earthquakes that cause them are difficult to predict. It takes a massively powerful earthquake to displace the amount of water needed to cause a tsunami.
