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).
What causes small earthquakes before a volcanic eruption?
The earthquakes are caused by the movement of magma underground and the breaking of rocks by that magma.
What is the vibrations produced by the breaking of rocks?
Earthquakes
What vibrations caused by breaking rocks along faults most plates moving over under and past each other?
Earthquakes.
What is the breaking of rocks that causes vibrations in Earth?
Earthquakes
What Destructive Events can trigger an Earthquake?
Earthquakes are the vibrations caused the sudden release of energy by rocks breaking under stress. Rocks crack and slip past each other causing the ground to vibrate.
What are large vibrations caused by rock breaking under stress?
Earthquakes
What is caused when water in e cracks in rocks freezes and expands?
Erosion ... breaking of the rocks.
Which natural process is caused by rocks moving under earths surface?
earthquakes
How do changes caused by weathering and erosion compare to changes caused by earthquakes?
Weathering compare to plate tectonics by breaking down rocks and The scientific theory of describing the large scale of motions kfor the lithosphere.
Some more material on causes of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused when huge pressures deep in the Earth cause rocks to shift or break.
What is the most frequant cause of rocks breaking apart?
Probably, earthquakes or volcanic activity. Or the movement of plate tectonics.
What is the process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces explain 2?
it is called weathering; the rocks get weathered by wind, water, or earthquakes (main examples) and peices break off
