A Tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake.
No because the New Madrid quakes occurred far inland, so therefore no tsunami was generated by the plate tectonics under a large body of water as is the mechanism for most earthquake-generated tsunamis. However, the New Madrid fault earthquake did cause the Mississippi river to flow backwards.
its called a tsunami
The people who were affected in the Japanese tsunami was the prime minister because its his country and of course the people who was trapped in the tsunami.
A tsunami cannot be precisely predicted even if the right magnitude of an earthquake occurs in the right location. Systems that uses bottom pressure sensors attached to buoys can successfully predict a tsunami. No one yet knows why a tsunami may or may not occur after an earthquake. It is not necessary that a Tsunami follows an earthquake. It only happens when focus of earthquake is in the sea bed. Since earthquakes are caused by seismic waves produced due to collisions of the tectonic plates, these waves high disturbance in the sea water and hence the water takes the form of Tsunamis.
The Tsunami was created by an underwater earthquake/volcano.
A Tsunami?
when there is a earthquake or landslide underwater
The Thailand tsunami in 2004 was generated by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. The earthquake caused a rupture in the ocean floor, displacing a large volume of water which then produced the tsunami waves that hit Thailand and other countries in the region.
Probably "tsunami" misspelled. A tsunami is an ocean wave generated by a submarine earthquake, volcano or landslide.
In 2010 Haiti experienced a strong earthquake but there was NO TSUNAMI.
A tsunami.
Ocean Village is about 500 miles from a subduction zone which has the potential of producing a tsunami generating earthquake. What is the maximum amount of warning time the village can expect if a tsunami is generated at that subduction zone?
A tsunami is typically generated by the displacement of a large volume of water, usually from undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. The medium through which a tsunami travels is water, specifically ocean water.
A large wave created by some earthquakes is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are generated by the displacement of water caused by underwater seismic activity, leading to the formation of powerful and destructive ocean waves.
The tsunami generated by the 2010 Chile earthquake took approximately 15 hours to reach Chile after the earthquake occurred.
Yes, a tsunami travels outward from its epicenter in a series of waves in all directions. The energy generated by an undersea earthquake causes the ocean water to displace and form a tsunami that spreads across the ocean.
No because the New Madrid quakes occurred far inland, so therefore no tsunami was generated by the plate tectonics under a large body of water as is the mechanism for most earthquake-generated tsunamis. However, the New Madrid fault earthquake did cause the Mississippi river to flow backwards.
