What are the differences between subsidence sinkholes and collapse sinkholes?
subsidence sinkholes are different from collapse sinkholes in two ways . first,subsidence sinkholes ocer when there is almost no overburn,or material,above the limestone. collapse sinkholes happen when there is thick overburn. secondly, subsidence sinkholes occur slowly, over time, while collapse foms quckly beacause of human activity , such as well drilling.

Why a tsunami can often follow an earthquake?
when a earthquake occurs, the plate tectonics rub together causing friction between the plates forcing the earth to shake. So when this happens, it can also happen under water. When the Plate tectonics shake under water... they uplift. Then the plate will then slip causing subsidence and releasing energy into water.. then that energy that is release is called the tsunami.
