What is a large wave created by an earthquake on the ocean floor?
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
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?
A wave caused by a sudden shift in the ocean floor is called a tsunami.
Is a hot spot under the ocean floor is most likely to cause an earthquake?
no a volcano
What is a large wave created by an earthquake on the ocean floor?
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
What caused the tsunami to happen?
An earthquake beneath the Ocean floor.
Can an earthquake on the ocean floor produce a tornado?
No, an earthquake on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami (a series of large waves). Earthquakes do not influence weather events such as tornadoes.
What is tsuname?
A giant wave usually caused by an earthquake beneath the ocean floor
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.
Which term refers to powerful ocean waves caused by an earthquake landslide or volcanic erupton on the sea floor?
Tsunami
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.
How is an earthquake related to a tsunami?
Tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes that occur on the ocean floor. Tsunamis are also referred to as Seismic Sea Waves
A tsunami is caused by?
Earthquake in the ocean.
Do tsunamis occur due to the moon?
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.
Which of wave is giant sea wave caused by an earthquake on the ocean floor?
The giant sea wave caused by an earthquake on the ocean floor is called a tsunami. Tsunamis occur when there is a sudden displacement of water, often due to tectonic plate movements, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides. Unlike regular ocean waves, tsunamis can travel across entire ocean basins at high speeds and can cause devastating damage when they reach coastal areas.
