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
What did ancient peoples believe caused earthquakes?
The Sun
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 are large vibrations caused by rock breaking under stress?
Earthquakes
Which natural process is caused by rocks moving under earths surface?
earthquakes
Some more material on causes of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused when huge pressures deep in the Earth cause rocks to shift or break.
Which is the most common tectonic or volcanic earthquakes?
Tectonic earthquakes are more common than volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by the shifting and breaking of rocks in the Earth's crust along tectonic plate boundaries, whereas volcanic earthquakes are associated with volcanic activity and occur as magma moves beneath the surface.
What is the most frequant cause of rocks breaking apart?
Probably, earthquakes or volcanic activity. Or the movement of plate tectonics.
The breaking down and wearing away of rocks is called?
The breaking down and wearing away of rocks is called weathering. This process can be caused by physical (mechanical) or chemical processes.
What Destructive Events can trigger an Earthquake?
Earthquakes can be triggered by natural events such as volcanic eruptions, landslides, and tectonic plate movements. Human activities like mining, reservoir-induced seismicity (from large dams), and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) can also induce earthquakes.
Vibrations caused by rocks breaking and moving as a result af a sudden release of energy?
Vibrations caused by rocks breaking and moving as a result of a sudden release of energy is called an Earthquake. By the movement of plate boundaries, depending how it moved, is how strong the Earthquake will be.
What is the breaking of rocks that causes vibrations in Earth?
The breaking of rocks that causes vibrations in Earth is known as rock fracturing or rock faulting. This typically occurs due to stress and pressure within the Earth's crust, leading to the release of stored energy in the form of seismic waves. These vibrations are what we feel during earthquakes.
