What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
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.
What a large crack in the earth formed by a river or earthquakes?
canyon
Why do earthquakes occur along north America's pacific coast?
There are more earthquakes in the west coast because the west coast of America is adjacent to a destructive tectonic plate margin and this means that there is more crustal movement/stress there. Also, there is oceans there which causes an erosion.
What are the large waves called that sweep up on land that are caused by earthquakes?
tsunami
Where are there large earthquakes that often erupt?

A large belt of mountain ranges and volcanoes surrounds the pacific ocean. Which events are most closely associated with these mountains and volcanoes?
Earthquakes
Which ocean is most likely to have a tsunami and why?
The Pacific Ocean is most likely to have a tsunami due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire which is a hotspot for earthquake and volcanic activity. The movement of tectonic plates in this region can trigger underwater earthquakes, leading to tsunamis.
Where is the largest area of active earthquakes and volcanoes in the world?
The largest area of active earthquakes and volcanoes in the world is known as the Ring of Fire. It is a horseshoe-shaped zone around the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to tectonic plate movements. It spans from the west coast of the Americas to Asia.
Which famous transform fault systems produces large earthquakes in Canada?
The Queen Charlotte Fault system off the west coast of Canada is well known for producing large earthquakes. It is a transform fault boundary separating the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
Which ocean is affected by the ring of fire?
The Pacific Ocean is affected by the Ring of Fire, which is an area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies?
At the center of a large cluster, you'll usually find large and massive galaxies.
How do you define a cluster?
In astronomy, a cluster is a large group of celestial bodies such as stars or galaxies.
Which water body is surrounded by a geologically active ring of fire?
The Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is a group of volcanoes. The pacific tectonic plate.
Is the Virgo cluster a globular cluster?
No, a globular cluster is a group of stars that are part of a galaxy. The Virgo cluster is much bigger. It is a large nearby group of galaxies.
What is the name of the famous ''ring'' of volcanos?
The name of the famous "ring" of volcanoes is the Pacific Ring of Fire. It is a region in the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Why do a large number of earthquake happen on the ring of fire?
The "Ring of Fire" is located at the borders of the Pacific Plate and other major tectonic plates (huge pieces of the Earth's crust). As the Pacific Plate subducts (collides with and slides under other plates) with other nearby plates, the plates melt into magma and produces earthquakes and volcanoes. The Ring of Fire is responsible for about 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's strongest earthquakes.
What type of boundary has the most earthquakes with high magnitudes?
Convergent boundaries typically have the most earthquakes with high magnitudes because they involve the collision of tectonic plates, leading to intense pressure and stress that can be released in the form of large earthquakes. Examples of convergent boundaries with high-magnitude earthquakes include the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate.
