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 happens to an earthquake when it travels from its source to the ocean floor?
the ocean floor starts to break up just like the land does .
What is a wave caused by a sudden shift in the ocean floor called?

Is a surf a wave caused by an earthquake on the ocean floor?
No, a surf is not caused by an earthquake; rather, it refers to the breaking of waves as they approach the shore. Waves are primarily generated by wind blowing across the surface of the ocean. Earthquakes can create tsunamis, which are large ocean waves caused by underwater disturbances, including seismic activity, but these are distinct from regular surf.

No, the moon does not cause tsunamis. The so called 'tidal wave' is not related to the tides at all. A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake under the ocean floor. The large movement of the plates creates a huge water displacement that results in the creation of a very large wave.
What is a wall of water caused by an earthquake called?
A wall of water caused by an earthquake is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by seismic activity such as underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
What is the Second worst earthquake ever?
