What is a large wave created by some earthquakes?
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.
Can earthquakes happen under water?
Yes, earthquakes can happen underwater. When an earthquake occurs beneath the ocean, it can cause a tsunami if the magnitude is strong enough to displace a significant amount of water. Underwater earthquakes are monitored by seismologists to assess the potential risk of tsunamis.
Do most earthquakes occur on land or water?
The most earthquakes are mostly occurs on land
When did the earthquakes start happening?
Earthquakes have been occurring for millions of years due to the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. The specific start date of earthquakes cannot be pinpointed as they have been a natural occurrence throughout geological history.
Do earthquakes travel through oceans?
Yes, earthquakes can generate seismic waves that travel through the ocean. These waves can propagate through the water and may be detected by instruments like seismometers. However, the energy of seismic waves typically dissipates more quickly in water than in solid ground.
What physical process created the landform features and bodies of water in the Midwest?
glaciers and earthquakes
How water wave moves in water?
the sun and gravity are the two biggest movers of water. waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. Tsunamis are waves created by earthquakes.
How does water move in a wave?
the sun and gravity are the two biggest movers of water. waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. Tsunamis are waves created by earthquakes.
Are there earthquakes in the water?
Earthquakes IN the water? No. Earthquakes UNDER the water, yes - underwater earthquakes cause most of the Tsunamis, including the one that hit Indonesia a couple of years ago. Yes There are earthquakes under the water; many of them start there.
When was Little Earthquakes created?
Little Earthquakes was created on 1992-01-13.
When was San Jose Earthquakes created?
San Jose Earthquakes was created in 1995.
When was The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes created?
The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes was created in 2005.
When was Little Earthquakes - video - created?
Little Earthquakes - video - was created in 1992-10.
How could mountains be created and destroyed?
they can be created by earthquakes and erosion off of cliffs. they can be destroyed by erosion, earthquakes, and mining
Can earthquakes occur in water?
Yes. Earthquakes are caused when the plates in the earth shift and there are still plates that shift in the water.
Why was the seismograph created?
A seismograph was created to measure out the magnitude of earthquakes.
Can hurricanes and earthquakes happen underwater?
Hurricanes do not form underwater, as they require warm ocean water. Earthquakes can certainly occur underwater, known as underwater earthquakes, and can trigger tsunamis due to the displacement of water.
