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 is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps
What is most damaged by earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
What natural disaster is caused by earthquakes but could also be caused by an asteroid?
earthquakes cause fires and tsunamis. earthquakes are caused either ice bergs falling down from somewhere e.g iceland or antarctica, or from the tetonic plates clashing together, or they go after volcanic eruptions
Can tree roots cause earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes are generally caused by the rubbing of two plates (tectonic plates).
Why did Egyptians believe in myths?
The ancient Egyptians believed in "myths" because they were a part of their religion.
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Are tsunamis caused by tidal waves?
no it is caused by earthquakes
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are earthquakes caused by?
Tremors
Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.

Are fault lines caused by earthquakes?

What did Aristotle believe causd earthquakes?
Aristotle didn't know the existence of earthquakes as there was no earthquake in the world at his time. However he would believe that they were cause by many people farting simultaneously if earthquakes existed back then.
Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
No, most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust, not by folding. Folding is a slow process of deformation in the Earth's crust, while earthquakes are the result of rapid movement along faults.
What vibrations are caused by earthquakes?
Tremors
