It says in my geography book: Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions under the sea.
But Im sure 'Tsunamis are formed when two oceanic plates collide' is right too, it sounds right cause theres also a diagram that shows the crust broken and moving up causing the wave to go up aswell (this is called an upward wave)
What else can I help you with?
What zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
A subduction zone is formed where two oceanic plates collide. One plate is forced beneath the other, creating a deep trench and often leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
What do you call a chain of volcanos that result from oceans colliding?
Oceans do not collide but oceanic crustal plates can collide, and when they do collide, island arcs are formed along the subduction zone.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
When oceanic and continental plates collide, the oceanic plate is usually forced under the continental plate in a process called subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges on the continental plate and can lead to the creation of volcanic arcs. The collision can also cause earthquakes and tsunamis.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser oceanic plate?
sinks
How a trench formed?
a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide
What are formed when two oceanic plates collide?
volcanoes in an island arc
What is made when oceanic plates collide?
An under water earthquake is formed causing a tsunami.
What zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
A subduction zone is formed where two oceanic plates collide. One plate is forced beneath the other, creating a deep trench and often leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Where does oceanic and oceanic plates collide?
When a trench or volcano comes.
What do you call a chain of volcanos that result from oceans colliding?
Oceans do not collide but oceanic crustal plates can collide, and when they do collide, island arcs are formed along the subduction zone.

When two oceanic plates collide it creates?
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser oceanic plate?
sinks
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
When tectonic plates collide with oceanic plates, the denser oceanic plate is usually forced beneath the less dense continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches. The collision can also cause earthquakes and crustal deformation.
This is when two plates collide together?
Earthquake, which can also lead to tsunamis.
