Do earthquakes trigger tsunami's?
Tsunami's can be triggered by earthquakes that happen underneath the ocean floor.
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.
Shallow focus earthquakes are associated with what ocean floor feature?
mid-ocean ridges
What happens when an earthquake originates under the sea floor?
earthquakes under seafloor can lead to tsunamis
Earthquakes that originate beneath the ocean floor produce huge tidal waves called .?

Can both volcanoes and earthquakes form on the ocean floor?

Are triggered by earthquakes originating beneath the ocean floor?
Tidal waves ?
What geologic conditions exist in small town on the coast of Oregon that might cause a tsunami?
The conditions do not exist in the town itself, but off the coast of Oregon. About 85 miles off the coast of Oregon is a boundary between two tectonic plates. Here, the small Juan de Fuca Plate is colliding with and sliding under the North American Plate. These plates periodically release energy in the form of earthquakes. In some cases, these earthquakes may be accompanied by vertical movement of the ocean floor, which can displace ocean water and trigger tsunamis.
Are tsunamis caused by man or nature?
By nature.More specific by earthquakes of the ocean floor.
Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?
Most earthquakes occur on the ocean floor, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, earthquakes can also occur on land where tectonic plates meet, such as along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
Shallow focus earthquakes are associated with what ocean floor feature?
mid-ocean ridges
Is it true that tsunami are triggered by earthquakes originating deep beneath the ocean floor?
True
What happens when an earthquake originates under the sea floor?
earthquakes under seafloor can lead to tsunamis
What is tsunami creating called?
Tsunamies are generally considered to be caused by earthquakes occurring on the floor of an ocean.
