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.
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes mostly frequently occur?
Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.
Do earthquakes happen everywhere volcanoes are?
They do occur where volcanoes are, but it is not because of the volcanoes itself. It is because under the earth's surface there are tectonic plates (plates that make up the earth's crust) that shift, and occasionally collide into one another. This is what causes the ground to shake. This shaking is what we interpret as earthquakes.
Do tectonic plates effect volcanoes and earthquakes?
There is an intricate set of techtonic plates that are located all over the earth. When volcanic eruptions occur then these plates can shift due to the excess pressure that the eruptions cause. This techtonic plate movement can then result in earthquakes.
How are earthquakes volcanos and faults alike?
They are all formed when tectonic plate boundaries move against each other.
Why are there no volcanoes or earthquakes in Scotland?
Scotland is situated on a stable tectonic plate, far from any plate boundaries where volcanic or seismic activity typically occurs. The lack of volcanic activity means there are no active volcanoes in Scotland. While Scotland does experience occasional minor earthquakes, they are usually of low magnitude due to the area's stable geological conditions.
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.
What are Japan's natural hazards?
floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, windstorms, tidal waves and land slides,
Are all major earthquakes near areas with volcanoes?
no
What do earthquakes waves transmit?
Seismic waves (like all waves) transmit energy.
Why did earthquakes and volcanoes happen?
Tectonic Plates are moving in all directions...
What do volcanoes mountainsand earthquakes all have in common?
They're all caused by tectonic movement
Connection between earthquakes and volcanos?
One connection between earthquakes and volcanoes is that they all have to do with Plate Tectionics and they destroy things
What are all the tectonic natural disasters?
Earthquakes (which make tsunamis), and volcanoes if you count them.
How is faulting related to earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
Faulting occurs in all three of these
Are the earthquakes and volcanoes scattered all over the plates or is there a pattern?
there are several patterns
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
